I remember a time when this kind of thing would make the front page of the major newspapers. But the Iraqi Resistance have been taking out US forces in such numbers that even the heaviest single set of fatalities inflicted on them since 2003 is just business as normal… 1820 dead since the invasion and rising.
Fourteen U.S. Marines and a civilian interpreter were killed Wednesday in western Iraq, the U.S. command said. The Marines, assigned to Regimental Combat Team 2, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), were killed in action early Wednesday when their vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device, the military said. One Marine was also wounded.
The incident occurred during combat operations just outside of Haditha, which is 140 miles northwest of Baghdad.

*“There are some that feel like if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don’t understand what they are talking about if that is the case. Let me finish. There are some who feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring 'em on.” - *President George W. Bush, July 2ns, 2003.
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since 2003
These news have been pushed in the background now so terrorist activities steal the light and US casualties don't receive as much attention by local population which is sad innit.
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since 2003
how come Sunnis don't want peace? That is what these "resistance fighters" seem to be "resisting".
the majority of the country is content, but this minority seems to be addicted to violence. why? is it some sort of "go out with all guns blazing" attitude? is there something wrong with Shias ruling a Shia-dominated country? why are they so delusional about regaining power?
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since 2003
This is a bad omen. This means the american public is getting used to the idea that more US casulties are acceptable to fight the scrouge of islamic terrorism. I guess the Al-queda delusion that the “Americans don’t have stomach for body bags” is not working.Look forward to more ass kicking by the US in near future.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A Marine amphibious assault vehicle patroling during combat operations in the Euphrates River valley hit a roadside bomb Wednesday, killing 14 Marines from the same Ohio battalion that lost six men two days ago. It was one of the deadliest single attacks against American forces in Iraq…
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since 2003
Bush didn't really go into this war with a viable exit strategy. I sincerely hope that this doesnt turn into another Vietnam. My heart goes out to all the poor American soldiers and the innocent civilians that are dying in Iraq.
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since 2003
^^ and that makes you less racist.
MS is right, this type of news is an everyday event, and people seem to move it to their LTM quickly and not notice. It's sad, but it is war, ppl get hurt, ppl die. If only militants could stop killing, it's Iraqi militants fault not the US, these sandys should avail the opportunity and try to create a civil society mirroring US, a mini US in the heart of Arabia, a Mecca.
But nope. These pathetic miscreants want to impose something and create a society that no one really wants, not to mention that nor do they have any plans on how they will run it.
And so it goes on they (peaceful ppl) kill; kill their own and ours. We then cut their dciks so they wont re-produce once released to general public.
Maybe we should round these Ummahdiologists to an un-inhabited part of the world and call it a park with endangered species, something along the lines of "Jurrasic Park".

So according to your logic: When a burglar enters somebody’s house, kills his family and in revenge the home-owner kills the burglar, it’s the home-owner’s fault?
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since 2003
^^ your example is mis leading. US went in to liberate Iraq and now the ppl that ruled (now known as militants) are killing, US policy is not to kill civilians and unarmed ppl, it is the militants killing their own and the US soldiers. They stop and work towards the betterment of their society life will be good for all. Hey even the Messiah that Lajo is waiting for in the religion forum may pay us a visit and fulfill the bibilical fanatasy that Southern baptists, jews and muslims are waiting for.
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since
what a pathetic liar you are..if you are so fond of your convictions, then you should be on your way to Ohio to console the families of those who have wasted their lives in a vain cause with naught ending..insitigated by hypocrites and deceivers..
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since
^ so are you ready to send your own children to Iraq in order to promote freedom & democracy, or you rather have other people's kids meet the same fate as these soldiers whilst hypocrites such as you spew conjecture and lies
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since 2003
I am going to try my damndest to send my kids to Annapolis, WestPoint and USAFA. Inshallah.
And I tried to join the army as well but was rejected based on age. They dont take 35 and over, they just changed the law and increased the age , but I still didnt qualify because of the age requirements. So now I wage my war with you .
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since
Further more I hope you wont act like an idiot and join some suicide jihadi group and blow yourself up for the 72 virgin prize( its not true, its been proven on paklink.com many times by our internal religious muttawa cronies).
We love [email=“[email protected]”][email protected]
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since
^ well, your war is not against me or anyone on personal grounds IN FACT - it's a war against Islam and its followers, and anyone who carries vendetta against Muslims has joined this band-wagon, using American blood and money. Whether, you are an some perverted ahmadi, or extremist hindu, a disgruntled athiest, or a zionist, or some neo-con christian, your cause is not to liberate the muslims or iraqis but to repress Islam and shed the blood of muslims.
Too bad that these soldiers are being used as cannon fodder for the cause based on lies and deceptions, and something which will never succeed...hence the question..
Re: Remember a time when this would be big news? Heaviest US marine casualties since
Yeah and the same applies to the cannon fodder (madrassah grads) and other jack asses hell bent on destroying civilization. For the betterment of society…I think…danda is a good thing for these idiot Ummadiologists.
:kaboom:
