One US Soldier Lost In Iraq This Month

--Updated & Bumped--
The US Army announced the first casualty in Iraq this month on Sunday, July 6th.
The soldier died of non-battle related causes in Baghdad on July 5th.

As of July 7th, one soldier has died in Iraq this month.

Related... The Al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq have become so weakened and pathetic that they just used their 20th female suicide bomber this year to wreak havoc against innocent Iraqis.

    President Obama will have zero soldiers dead in Iraq every month.

    His plan is called "Get The Hell Out of Iraq and Catch Bin Laden".

    You might remember OBL... tall guy with a beard, hates America, killed 3000 on US soil 7 years ago, never brought to justice... does that ring a bell?

    Republicans are wrong on Iraq.

    McCain is wrong on Iraq.

    You bet the future of conservatism on Iraq. And lost.

    Deal with it.

    One American soldier dead. Good.

    Who cares how many Iraqis die in our beautiful mission to spread peace and democracy and exploit their oil?

    The war is still over.


    BAGHDAD (AFP)--At least 15 people were killed across Iraq Sunday, including seven by a bomb targeting a local leader of President Jalal Talabani's political party, officials said.

    The bomb exploded in the town of Qara Tappa in the restive province of Diyala outside the house of Mohammed Ramadan Eisa, a local leader of Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the town's mayor Sherwan Shukra said.

    "Eisa was seriously wounded in the blast but his wife, mother-in-law, his two children, one brother and two of his guards were killed," Shukra told AFP.

    KS, you're a piece of crap. My son is an American soldier and you think the death of a soldier is good. I hope you rot in hell. Oh, yes, we sure are exploiting Iraqi oil. Tell that to Americans paying $4 or more for gas. You better hurry home, your village is missing it's idiot.

    No. I don't think the death of an American soldier is good. What is good is that the deaths are diminishing. And you know that. That's the topic of this post.

    Use your head instead of jumping to conclusions.

    And I have a relative--24 year old male--who is on his way to Iraq.

    ks was not all that concerned about Iraqis while they were dying under Saddam.
    You know what ks, you are wrong.
    Iraqis have seized the chance to bring democracy and human dignity to Iraq.
    Perhaps when your relative reaches Iraq he might just tell you that.

    We are talking about the same OBL that slick willie had a chance to his hands on?

    Then golgi continues to whine showing his/her/its' inability to both look at a map and think strategically...

    Thanks for that golgi, very entertaining...

  7. President Obama will have zero soldiers dead in Iraq every month.

    His plan is called "Get The Hell Out of Iraq and Catch Bin Laden".


    Actually, nobody has any idea what Obama's plan is. Not even Obama. That's why he had to call an emergency press conference to explain that he was speaking perfectly clearly, but the press got everything wrong.

    Then he implied that he's no longer a United States senator.

    "I'm surprised at how finely calibrated every single word was measured. I wasn't saying anything I hadn't said before, that I didn't say a year ago or when I was a United States senator," said Obama, who is still a senator from Illinois.

    His statement was so stupidly worded that Reuters had to clarify. This is your genius? Your Changey Hopiness?

    According to the Iraqi foreign minister, Obama told him that he wouldn't withdraw the troops from Iraq.

    We therefore know Obama's lying, but to whom? He's lying either to us or the Iraqis.

    My hunch is he's lying to us, and he has no plans to withdraw the troops in 16 months. To do so jeopardizes all the security gains, and the Iraqis have said that if we withdraw, they'll turn to someone else for security, like China.

    Obama won't be the one who delivers Iraq to the Red Chinese. He's a buffoon, but the people running him aren't as dumb as he is.

    It's all moot, though, because the Messiah won't be president.

    Remember the Bradley Effect.

    this short and brief post says it all. For the U.S. and its allies this war is over. Terrorism and the actions of dead-enders will continue, and many Iraqis will still continue to die from revenge attacks, settling of accounts, or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But coordinated arm conflict, mass sectarian slaughter and violence on a national level ..... for the U.S. arm forces this war is over.

    It appears that the Democrats and Obama are going for the full blown Nuremberg party rally thing on the last night of the "convention".

    They are even thinking of doing the "cathedral of light" which was done at the 1936 Nuremberg party rally.

    You can watch Triumph des Willens here. Let's see how many other ideas the Democrats will have ripped off from the Nazi's in producing it.

    We are involved in TWO wars in the ME: Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Why do you leave out the US soldiers who have dies in Afghanistan last month?

    Don't they matter to you? The death rates of US military in Afghanistan are higher now than in 2001.

    But apparently that war is off the radar.

    And don't Iraqi deaths count? Are you all so inhumane that you care only for US military deaths and not for the also tragic deaths of men, women, and babies in Iraq?

    How very, very strange and selective you are.

    Only US military deaths in Iraq matter?

    where was your outrage at the MSM for their extensive hour after hour, day after day, week after week announcements of our Troop death counts??

    btw, no one is denying there have been other deaths..

    however, being able to point out the "success" of the "surge" to the "war is lost" ilk is more than worthy of it's own post..

    ps: albeit probably wouldn't register.. why don't you try looking up how many people have been killed/murdered in ie: the cities of Chicago or San Fransisco for the month of June.. hey, you never know.. it just might afford you some perspective.. if not, it certainly couldn't hurt your narrow mind set one bit..

    So whats' new, golgi and KS like a long list of lunatic leftists before them backed the wrong side against the best America has to offer and they lost again.

    In a never ending feature of the infantile morons on the Left who always side with any thug or lunatic against this country, from the Soviets, to Castro, to Ortega, and on to Saddam and Iran in Irag, when hasn't the American left pulled for this great country to get its comeuppence at the hands of some fanatic. They never learn.

    Because they are such failures in the most receptive nation ever they feel hatred toward America and want it defeated to somehow show they are not responsible for their own ineptness.

    But sorry KS and golgi, you lost and your idiot, Obama isn't going to ever get anywhere near the command of the greatest force for good the world has ever seen.

    Add another 25 million human beings who now enjoy the prospect of freedom, despite the best efforts of the Left, thanks to these valiant young Americans.

    Great side your on KS. That of appeasers and our enemies.

    Defeatist Losers / Tyrants and Terrorist

    Barack Hussein Obama / Saddam Hussein

    Nancy Pelosi / Assad of Syria

    Harry 'We Lost' Reid / Baghdad 'Americans not in city!' Bob, LOL!

    The War is lost! / Great Satan will be defeated!

    Americans will lose! / Americans will lose!

    Which one of these scum above predicted the fatal defeat for our soldiers and therefore America?

    Go smoke another joint or plop another downer in your throat so that your weasel little life can continue mocking good Americans. Only a cretin, a dirt grubbing worm would say what you said
    today accusing good people of not caring about our troops.

    Meanwhile, in the real world, outside of your Owellian thought paradise, a solid Victory liberates Iraqis from a tyrant that murdered, oppressed and tortured millions. But don't let truth intrude upon your moonbat acid trip. Take another hit and visit Lucy in the Sky.

    Saddam was a Commie lover, like your friend Obama is today. Obama sought out Commies like William Ayers for cash in corrupt Chi-town politics. I assume you support the
    Commie seeking Appeaser? That welcomed with open arms a terrorist that blew up Americans?

    An arrogant troll speaks...

    Propagandist trolls like KS don't care about anything other than stirring up a bunch of their own bat guanna and stewing in it. They then try to fling it at others in some sad ritual attempting to make sense of their steaming stool pile that they live in daily.

    KS spews forth false assertions against good people here. That may work with an indoctrinated teenager of moonbat professors, but not adults.

    GP, myself and many others pointed out Afghanistan deaths surpassing Iraq. But KS troll was absent. KS only slimes when it cluelessly thinks it has an opening for
    dramatic false assertions. KS must be a teenager or a college student. Because it is resurrecting worn out tactics.

    I'm curious KS, when we all discussed with great happiness giving to our troops thru Move America Forward.... Umm, where were you? Oh, that's right, you said nothing in support of our troops that day. You must have conviently been missing, taking toilet training classes.

    Yet you slime us now with a propagandist 101 guilt trip? Only
    dimwitted trolls bait people with the sick attack like that of our enemy, words like Osama would spew, or words like communist William Ayers spew, an Obama supporter.

    You had nothing to say in support of our troops for Move America Forwards great 1.2 million rally for our troops. And now you attack people supporting our troops for victory?

    Exactly how does a scumbag like you live with yourself?

    Do you want to attack McCain too, a POW, for his over 20 years of
    service to our country? Or maybe you feel like attacking Veterans For Freedom? Would you like to attack Soldiers Angels? Gathering of Eagles veterans? Just how many
    millions of good Americans supportting our troops do you want to attack?

    Not satisfied to attack with the usual leftist propaganda, KS smears everyone as "uncaring" about our soldiers and Iraqis. This is same old smear jobs our enemy pulled back in WWII. Good company KS, sleeping with the enemy. Smear everyone with false accusations that supporting our troops is uncaring? What a sick, twisted and convoluted mind you have. How did you come up with such logic?

    The great majority involved here have family, friends and relatives in this war or have committed to supporting our soldiers at all levels thru volunteering or donations. Millions of Americans, us inlcuded have given to causes that give to Iraqis as well.

    Go eat with our enemies you pathetic weasel. Or apologize.

    An enemy of victory, an enemy of patriotic Americans and ultimately an enemy of an all volunteer force. Your also an enemy of free Iraqis. You stand on the side of Obama, Osama, Saddam and Sadr. What a crew you support, Appeasers, Tyrants and terrorist in victory over America.

    And if you think blabbering about a distant "cousin serving" gets you off for slinging filth at everyone here you are a dimwitted fool. What a weak excuse for sliming everyone. I have a cousin serving. So what? It gives you no more moral authority for the idiotic things you said. Your cousin can be Colin Powell and I'd still label your false accusations as yellow type talking points the enemy makes daily. Saying how uncaring evil Americans are to the world.

    Only an uninformed nutjob uses our enemies words against us. What does it feel like KS to sound like our enemies? Like Sadr and al Qaeda?

    Truth is you don't give a damn about our troops here or anywhere around the world. You stoop to cheap attacks like Wesley Clark did against McCain. Like him, you have nothing solid but lame smears against good people.

    You don't give a damn about Iraqis either. You'd leave them to slaughter like Obama, Wesley Clark, Pelosi, Reid and your troll friend gogli.

    Your like all other moonbats, spreading smears against anyone that rightly supports our military, our country, and our President against brutal enemies during a time of war. Unless you are an Obamatron, during a time of war, it means uniting together in support of our President, in support of our troops.

    What is your strategy? To fling your moonbat guanna at us? Or What? To lose and live in defeatist isolation allowing tyrants and terrorist dictate to us how we will do business around the world? Is that your momentous Obama mantra? Cheer for defeat and dhimmitude?

    Take your moonbat BS and shove it down your Terrorist butt kissing lips. And while your at it, go tell your cousin for us, he's got a clueless nitwit in you, back here hoping and praying for his defeat abroad while he goes off to battle. Are you such a big clown to hope for defeat? Do ya call him and say, "Hey Cuz! I hope ya'll lose!" "Hey, our President is a
    liar cuz!" "Hey Cuz, why are you fighting for him?" Is this the lunatic fringe you live in KS? Is this your defeatist logic?

    Come on KS, go tell your cousin the hateful statement you made today against Americans supporting our troops. Falsely accusing people of not caring about him and others.

    What a swine.

    What utter lies of filth. It schlops around in your hands of blood for all the innocent Iraqis you'd leave behind to be slaughterd at the hands of terrorist. Stop spouting foolish propaganda talking points and projecting your hatred of Bush and troops upon others. Go bang your schmuck head on the BDS wall in SanFran at Folsum street. There are plenty ignorant self-absorbed lost to join you in sensory depravation acts. It'll help you ignore the world we live in and you can play by the ocean shore...

    whooopie!

    We love our troops here KS. That means we support them and stand by their mission for victory in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world against radical terrorist. We give, we get involved. And we're very aware of sacrifices these brave warriors make for us around the globe. And we will vote for Veterans to defeat and unseat leftist appeasers like the type you support. Veterans that came back from Iraq and were verbally spit upon and taunted by Code Pinko Commies. This is the false fodder trough you feed from KS.

    60 Million people voted for victory in 2004. Had leftist like you won, Iraqis would be under tyrants and terrorist yet again. This is your vaunted strategy.
    Throw lambs to lions. Let them die and bleed. Damn them to hell again.

    Wake up KS, we're all for peace, but the only way we live in peace is because brave soldiers go before us, not appeasers. When danger came, soldiers arose and defeated it whether communism, fascism or radical islamism.

    But your only answer is the pre-Pull out plan. Leftist never satisfy anyone because they're always planning ahead of time to pull out! The losers your represent are the Interuptus Maximus of appeasers. Pull out, pull out is their mantra... Defeat at all cost no matter what happens to Iraqis.

    Americans are evil, bla, bla, bla Bush evil.

    Yet today, men like David Petraeus and Odierno are fighting for victory. The soldiers are following them, winning in Iraq! Petraeus is moving to CENTOM, so expect real changes in Afghanistan too. MNF-Iraq and Iraqi Forces have turned the corner and have terrorist on the run. They killed and arrested over 1200 terrorist within and around northern Mosul with Iraqi Soldiers in the lead.

    What is your pinheaded solution? Run! Run away! Leave the Iraqis behind! And then label everyone here uncaring?

    What a blank minded statement.

    Also, 1,250 troops just Re-Enlisted you trite, pompus schmuck. They enlisted again for
    Victory in Iraq! It is a new record. If you bother to have watched the enlistment video, you would hear one leader say, they did it in Baghdad to make a
    statement to terrorist(and he should've said, schmucks like you). They had such a large ceremony in Iraq so the enemy and losers like you know they mean to finish this battle in Iraq against the terrorist. One tyrant down, 25 million free Iraqis, terrorist leaders dead, captured, thousands of terrorist wannabe blow-up idiots dead.

    That is the message to the enemy. Not a defeatist message like you and the Democrat wussies serve up daily for retreat and defeat.

    McCain was proven correct on the Surge and correct to support Iraqi Freedom and Liberation. Harry Reid, Obama and moonbats like you were wrong, desiring defeat, retreat and repeat of tyrants rule over 25 million innocent Iraqis. That was Obama's great plan. Let the tyrant continue in power murdering innocent Iraqis and supporting terrorist bombing of innocent Israeli women and children.

    Don't ever come in here accusing anyone of not caring again about Iraqis or Americans. Schnit fits like yours are not only erroneous bile, but expose you as a moronic, arrogant twit, fuming with false allegations and hubris.

  26. It goes far, far beyond Hillary's earmark for the Woodstock museum, BG ... though I just LOVED McCain's response to that!

    The last time these useful idiots (regardless of age) felt they were "empowered" was the late 1960's ...

    ... and they seek to create the societal vision they had from those days BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY ...

    ... including attempts at "guaranteeing" the "rights" to get stoned/get drunk/get their sexual jollies/get a free Band-Aid(TM)/get a check/just get by ...

    ... primarily by taking others' right to get ahead, and ignoring (in their simplistic, myopic view of "peace") the need to do what it takes to protect the right of all to live free from terrorism and/or totalitarian rule.

    The irony is, they won't get the 1960's back if they elect the Big 0/Carter 2.0 ... for as Prince might sing it, if he was inclined to do so ...

    ... with Big 0 we will party like it's 1979 ...

    Here's the kicker for the defeat-monkeys:

    Defeat in Iraq is defeat for the tenets driving terrorism.

    Bin Ladin asserted that they were the 'strong horse,' that America was the 'weak horse,' that Americans ran away when they saw blood, and that brave jihadis could strike from the shadows and shatter their resolve.

    Didn't work out that way, did it?

    America was tagged as the superior force with the inferior will, a legacy built by Viet Nam, Carter, Clinton, and, yes, even Reagan for withdrawing from Lebanon. Every success for the 'asymmetric warfare' of the islamofacists proved that America would run away, afraid, and could not fight an unconventional war. It made the idea of the success of violent jihad a recruiting point.

    How many do you think are going to sign up now, with the promise of American forces motivated with resolve to deliver humiliating defeat and blinding, brutal death, even while under fire from both the radical islamists and their fifth column at home?

    Afghanistan would have ended similarly already, if things weren't hamstrung over the Pakistani border...but that will be solved when President Obama invades like he said he would...or was that another flip-flop?

    And something We the People need to keep in mind.

    We have an opportunity this November to send a message to the thugs and fanatics who persist in trying to impose totalitarian rule through terrorist violence.

    Imagine what the hirabis will think on 11 November 2008, when they turn on CNN or al-Jazzera ... and if we are wise, they see us elect new leadership that will continue the credible confrontation of their thuggery for AT LEAST another four years.

    OTOH, if we are foolish, on that day we will send the message that it is business-as-usual, circa 10 Sept 2001 .... which is exactly what the bin Ladens of this world want.

    Remember, it took the steady RESOLVE of President Reagan to facilitate the fall of Soviet communism ... and it will take an even greater amount of steady resolve to defeat our current enemy, who does not share the rationality of the Soviet leadership.

    And also remember ... that the LOSER decides WHEN the war ends. It is the victor that decides HOW.

    Let us make the winner's choice.
