Did 20 GI's die in Iraq yesterday?

You'd never know it looking at the MSNBC homepage, or even on our Latest Breaking...

I guess we just move on to other stuff. Maybe the Sunday talkers will remember them.

Just sayin'

1. Try DUs Home page or the Greatest. Latest Breaking is just that,

the latest.

And I've read that it's 20, 21 (most stories), and 22.

5. Well, a Blackhawlk went down and those numbers are high.

6. Maybe it's because today is "Sanctity of Human Life Day."

Except for those lives, apparently.


And the lives of all the other troops & civilians killed in Dimson's Folly.


Mustn't go messing up the "celebration of life" with reminders of all the inconvenient death wrought by this administration's policies of greed.

8. No No No

What's important is sanitizing the coverage before the 'Spin for the Union' address.

7. Yes, but Hillary is running.

It is obviously a lot more important:sarcasm: to tell us what we have known for at least 2 years and a half.:puke:

9. I guess the surge of American targets is working just great.

10. I guess it was 19.

They're saying that "only" 12 people were on that helicopter rather than the 13 originally reported.
