What a wasteful unnecessary tragedy.... Now the military is saying the mutilation part was incorrect. Nonetheless, its bad. ted *********************************************************** U.S. Retracts Report of Soldiers' Bodies Being Mutilated By DEXTER FILKINS Published: November 24, 2003 AGHDAD, Iraq, Nov. 24 — Military officials retracted a report today that two American soldiers had been slashed in their throats in an attack Sunday in the northern city of Mosul. A military official here, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that the two soldiers had died of gunshot wounds to the head and that their bodies had been pulled by Iraqis from their car and robbed of their personal belongings. The military official said that contrary to some reports, the men had not been beaten by rocks or mutilated in any way. The victims, both soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division, were shot by unidentified gunmen who had stopped in front of the American's car, forcing it to come to a halt. The assailants got out of their car and fired at the Americans through the windshield. nytimes.com

What a wasteful unnecessary tragedy.... Yes it was a wasteful and unnecessary tragedy. That's why we have to step up the effort to get more of the bad guys before they get us. Thanks to Bush and Iron Hammer that's exactly what we are doing. That's why Bush and the military needs our support... and I know you want to support our guys (or do you?)!
