Meanwhile in Iraq

Just a quick reminder that people are still dying because of this damn president and his greedy corrupt ways. From the Associated Press:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Five American servicemen were killed in Iraq in separate attacks, the U.S. military said Thursday, including three soldiers who died in a roadside bomb blast.

Please read Representative John Murtha's letter to the president. He is a man with a plan and nobody will listen.

And let's not forget that it is not only our military that is in danger.

Since last fall the number of foreigners seized has spiked, following a prolonged lull. Meanwhile, Iraqis themselves are being kidnapped in large numbers - some months, more than 30 per day.
