Five U.S. Marines killed by roadside bomb in Iraq

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A roadside bomb blast in western
Iraq killed five U.S. Marines on Thursday, the U.S. military said on Friday.

In a statement, the military said the troops from the 2nd Marine Division were in a vehicle in the town of Haqlaniya when they were killed by the explosion.

Roadside bombs are among the deadliest insurgent weapons, but they have rarely killed so many U.S. troops in a single blast.

Since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, 1,298 U.S. military and
Pentagon personnel have been killed in action in Iraq. Including non-combat deaths the toll is at least 1,690.

"Never thought I'd see a USA with an official policy that it can START a WAR anywhere, preemptively, as it sees fit for it's future interests."

Sounds all right to me. Better to deal with dangers BEFORE they become too big.

BTW, the US Congress overwhelmingly approved giving Bush the power to go to war at his discretion. The vote was bipartisan.
