10/13 - 5 soldiers killed. 2 crushed to death by an Iraqi dump truck?

We heard about the other deaths, but a swerving dump truck fell over on top of a Humvee; killing two men. Apparently. they don't count because they were in a traffic "accident."

2. How "unhelpful"

Every military person who dies in Iraq is a WAR CASUALTY..

They would not be there if not for *'s war..:(

4. I had FAUX on earlier and they were covering an accident in LA

live. In the US, accidents merit live cable coverage, but in Iraq they don't even get mentioned.

3. Gotta keep that death count low

If it gets above 2 or 3 a day, someone might notice!! The news might have to spend more than 10 seconds talking about it!! People might be disturbed!! NO NO NO!!!

(sarcasm overload)

7. Yes, 5 reported deaths on October 13.

3 that we had heard about; 1 drowning and 2 attacked. Add to that the 2 deaths by dump truck that were not on the news.
