There seems to be a huge cover-up and face-saving excercise going on with the news on these 17 dead and 1 missing and 5 injured invaders?
In most online news sites it's not even news nevermind headline or not.
This is the biggest casualty count in one single incident to date in the invasion of Iraq.
Run Monkey King Run!
I see the chamcha's have already started laying the red carpet for the Imperial visit by playing down the massacre being carried out on the Monkey Kings pawns:

In South African newspapers the story only rated a small area inside the major newspapers - it denotes that USA casualties are no longer news.
I notice some Rambo states that losing 6 000 soldiers out of 110 000 during normal ops training is standard. I'm glad I never served in his armchair soldiering war machine.

Old Man, the whole Iraq war is a tragedy not just for Iraqi's, but also the American's. The deaths of both are being downplayed by the same people who are directing this war for their own selfish and strategic aims. Nobody rejoices in the deaths of American soldiers, and we should condemn people who do - people are simply highlighting the futility of the "shock and awe" bombing that so many went around praising on this forum. These poor American soldiers have families too just like the man thousands of Iraqi's that have been slaughtered, and they deserve to be told the full truth and extent of the American failure in Iraq.
An American/Brit/Italian/Jap/Spaniard in Iraq along with their cronies or allies is a legit target. I don’t feel sorry when a terrorist is blown to pieces in a black hawk or blown to smithereens with an IED. But I do feel very sorry when innocent civilians die at the hands of terrorist, very sorry. No one asked them to liberate Iraq nor did the Iraqis invite them with open arms. Let’s just not even speak of WMD. (Please ignore the pictures of Iraqis showering flowers on terrorist 
) Mark my words and this thread US will give a spin run from Iraq and leave a mess behind most likely a civil war. Not long ago when the monkey asked for 40 odd billion dollars I said it is the first installment. Now the monkey has asked another 87B and if US don’t get the fu(k out consider this the second installment. Here is the $ counter to Iraq war.. http://www.deckofbush.com/ sit tight and watch the show.
Hallelujah 
Malik73, I agree.
Unfortunately the whole issue's becoming somewhat of an embarrassment/predicament for the USA. They would dearly like to get out, with elections looming, but can't without losing face. Unfortunately during this time of indecision many people are being detrimentally affected in Iraq as well as the families of the USA soldiers. Precisely why I hate politicians so much.
I still think the USA will be out within the next year, whether there is someone ruling or not.
PS: During this whole issue, everyone has lost interest in North Korea and their doings. :) They are still thumping their noses at the Bush administration and must be getting closer to their nuclear bomb target day-by-day.

News Flash. U.S. Troop movement in S.K. somewhere around 2 miles of the demilitarized zone. Rumsfield visits. Rumsfield barks....
U.S. will not deter from using nuclear weapons if necessary.
Not exact words, but what I gleaned from the news channels.
Get them people out of office. I know my vote will help.
