Another tragedy in Iraq:
A mortar and rocket attack on a U.S. military base in the Iraqi city of Mosul killed at least 22 people and wounded more than 50 on Tuesday in one of the most deadly attacks on U.S. forces since last year’s invasion […]
Iraqi militant group Ansar al-Sunna, a major player in the insurgency against the U.S.-backed government and U.S. forces, said it was behind the attack.
A defense official in Washington said it was not clear how many of the casualties were Americans.
The attack on a dining hall came at noon when many soldiers at Forward Operating Base Marez, at the northern city’s airfield, would have been eating lunch. U.S. military camps in Mosul have tented mess halls seating hundreds of troops.
“There were an unknown number of rounds in a rocket and mortar attack,” the official said. “We don’t know the breakdown (of dead). We don’t know if it’s U.S., Iraqi, a combination.”
People like Markos “Screw Them” Zuniga have done his best to side with the enemy against our military as to spite Bush’s politics. Who will be the last to die for his rhetoric and partisan hatred?
