The numbers of causalities in Iraq keeps growing. First we wake up to news of
12 soldiers killed in a Blackhawk helicopter crash in northern Iraq. Nothing has
been released yet on what caused the crash but the military is working to get to
the crash site.
Three marines were killed today in a small arms clash in Fallujah. Two
marines were killed yesterday in separate roadside bomb incidents. The first
occurred about 50 miles west of Baghdad and the second about 30 miles north of
the city.
This brings the total number of U.S. fatalities to 2210 since the war started
in 2003. This month alone we have lost 30 soldiers and Marines. That’s really
disturbing considering we are only one week into the month.
How many more are going to die for this war of lies?
