CAGiversary!
Not that the American public cares anymore, or that the media will break into the Michael Jackson or Runaway Bride case to tell us:

Ten U.S. troops are dead as a result of bombing attacks from Thursday night through to Saturday.

At least 50 Iraqis, mostly police and Iraqi soldiers have also died as a wave of bombings have swept the war-torn country.

Four U.S. marines were killed and two others were injured when a truck carrying explosives was blown up on Thursday in Tallafar, 242 miles (390 kilometers) north of Baghdad.

Two more marines were reportedly killed by a grenade Friday near al-Deira, in Baghdad.

A U.S. soldier died when an improvised explosive device was detonated on Thursday night.

Two U.S. soldiers assigned to the 155th Brigade Combat Team, II Marine Expeditionary Force were killed Friday when a car bomb struck near Diyara. The Marines were based in Anbar province, west of Baghdad.

Also Friday, a separate car-bomb attack killed a U.S. Army soldier from the 1st Corps Support Command. Two other soldiers were wounded in the attack, which occurred north of Taji.

The three soldiers were evacuated to the theater hospital at Logistics Support Area Anaconda, where one died. The other two soldiers were being treated at the hospital.

Iraqi security sources said two people were killed Saturday when a mortar grenade fell into a residential area in Mosul, 280 miles (450 kilometers) north of Baghdad. Five other people were injured in Mosul in a separate incident involving a booby-trapped car.

Earlier, the Qatar-based al-Jazeera media group said two civilians were killed and 10 others wounded by a bomb explosion targeting a joint Iraqi-U.S. military patrol in the Zayuna district of eastern Baghdad. One of the victims was a child.

Another car exploded near a U.S. military convoy in the capital, but no casualties were immediately reported.

Officials confirmed the 12 car bombs that exploded Friday in the capital killed at least 50 people and injured more than 100 others.


This is why the military brings the bodies home under the cover of darkness. The public will start caring once their kids are conscripted.
 
I have to agree with you that the coverage of the Iraq situation has been absolutely disgusting. The media in general care far more about Michael Jackson and Terri Schiavo.

There should definitely be more reporting about US soldiers killed in action. The media is forcing us to look through rose colored goggles, and distracting us with "moral issues" and celebrities.
 
^^ Wow, you're back! I thought you'd moved on or something. Either that or I thought maybe PAD drove you away ;)
 
What we need is the actual happenings. "rose colored goggles" is an understatement. We're not being told about what's really going on. The mass media is controlled by major corporations which are, in turn, controlled by the Bush administration via their frequent funding and gifts of cash, so you're of course not going to bash your money-maker. If we heard the truth, the above report would come a lot less shockingly and a hell of a lot more people would be taking action and there would be fewer blind protests. Forgive my rambling.
