NEED HELP! "6 US Marines killed in Fallujah yesterday"?????

[LynnTheDem]

ICC cannot find anything else about this...does anyone have links???


West and Wilson insisted however that fighting that broke out Friday in Fallujah, which left six marines dead, was not an example failure.

3. I know it's not on ICC yet, lol!

Sorry, I should have explained better; I am with the ICC and we are trying to find another link that says 6 marines were killed yesterday,

The article I posted is the ONLY thing we've heard about this so far...an "after thought" is exactly right, ! Not one word anywhere else that we can find.

4. how can something like this--6 dead Marines--NOT hit the news?

something is beyond strange!


...... Some US officers complained that the recruitment of Iraqi troops was moving at a slow pace and that the quality of the forces was not up to par.

But according to Major Jim West of the First Marine Expeditionary Force "every day that goes by, the Iraqi national forces are getting better, stronger, and in parallel the Iraqi insurgents are getting weaker."

West and Wilson insisted however that fighting that broke out Friday in Fallujah, which left six marines dead, was not an example failure.

"We are not talking of a setback, but just about insurgents hiding in houses for a chance to kill a soldier," Wilson said. ....

5. Yeah that's our question...

Is this spokesidiot just mixing up his dead? Or did 6 marines die yesterday and not one single media report???

So if anyone finds ANY other link mentioning 6 US marines killed yesterday, PLEASE post it! Pretty please! Thanks.

6. Is this what you are looking for ?

I did a google news search. This is all I found. It was already in the
NC times archive.

It is dated the 15th (Wednesday), not yesterday.

7. That was 6 LAST weekend; article says 6 dead yesterday...

but the reporter may have forgotten to state the spokeidiot meant LAST Friday, not yesterday...or there may be another 6 dead yesterday...or gawd only knows. :eyes:

8. Though I don't know why I subject myself to it,

I'm stupid enough to subject myself to some of the morning so called "news" shows.

Though I often have them muted while I listen to tunes or NPR, I watch it often frequently switching channels and I will tell you, there is a complete and total blackout on the news coming out of Iraq.

There were far more so called reporters and reports in out of Redwood City CA (stupidly inane and should have been local Peterson trial) than there are reporters or reports coming out of Iraq. What's wrong with the priorities of the media? Don't answer.

No war crimes to see here, no napalm, no depleted uranium, no wholesale slaughter of innocents, no casualties, no wounded. . .move along. Bring on the free and fair elections. "Freedom is on the march." Ughhhhhh.

They simply can't suppress this forever, nor can they threaten or kill all the witnesses. I just pray for the truth to come out over time, the sooner the better.
