MSNBC - At least 9 U.S. troops killed in Iraq attacks

First let me say that I have the utmost respect for our troops fighting in the gulf--and elsewhere. These men and women have been tasked in Iraq with an extremly difficult task in Iraq. They have been asked to accomplish this task since the beginning without proper support and or troop strength required to accomplish the task. This is not my opinion but the opinion of the pentagon generals that the president chose to ignore. Now we are paying the price of that arrogance compunded by the arrogance of a President Bush's bravado and go it alone startegy that left out the rest of the world. Istead of building a coalition and getting buy in from the UN Bush has wated the goood will the United States got and deserved after the events of 9-11. It is sad that so many of our men are dying under these cercumstances and I only wonder if the price could have been lower had better decisions been made. My heartfelt thanks to the men and women.
