BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A U.S. Marine was killed in fighting in Anbar province,
an insurgent stronghold west of Baghdad, the military said Tuesday.

The Marine assigned to Multi-National Forces-West died Monday of wounds
sustained due to enemy action in the vast province, which stretches from
Baghdad to the borders with Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

The identity of the slain Marine was not released pending notification
of relatives.

The death raises to at least 3,085 members of the U.S. military have died
since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press
count.

1. God help us all

Another life lost to Bush's incompetence and arrogance. RIP, Marine. The so-called man who sent you to die for his war of choice is not worthy to even speak your name. I mourn with your loved ones.
