Doing in Fallujah what we have come to take for granted in the United States, 10 of our best just gave their lives for freedom's cause. They were making 'security preparations' for the upcoming elections in Fallujah and throughout Iraq. Taking out as many of those who would prevent an election from taking place is what defending freedom and making a self-governing government is all about. There are no words to express just how grateful we all should feel for their sacrifice.
The Marines were attacked outside of Fallujah, about 30 miles west of Baghdad. Of the 11 who were wounded, seven have returned to duty, the Marine Corps statement said. It added that Marines from the same unit continue to conduct counterinsurgency operations throughout Fallujah and surrounding areas.

I've heard more than one analysis on the strength of the economy as being especially strong, characterizing it as being able to take a hit from hurricane Katrina and the devastation of New Orleans. And despite all that, the unemployment numbers are still great. Attributing the economy's strength as being especially strong makes the assumption, or presumption, that most of the displaced in New Orleans were productive working people. The anticipated uptick in unemployment did not occur after Katrina due in no small part to the fact that many weren't working before the hurricane hit.
It is good news indeed that the economy is still going strong, but it's too bad that the MSM (MainStreamMedia) doesn't think that you should know. So what else is new?
