Administration "saddened" by losses in Fallujah bombing

WHITE HOUSE The Bush administration says it's "saddened" to hear of the deadly roadside bombing that killed ten Marines in Iraq.

Press Secretary Scott McClellan says a loss like this represents a "tough day" for the U-S cause -- the kind that President Bush has warned about.

But the spokesman says the soldiers sacrificed "for an important cause," and America will be forever grateful.

Pentagon officials say the Marines were patrolling on foot near Fallujah (fuh-LOO'-juh) yesterday when the bomb went off.

1. Dumb question... didn't we take Fallujah down last year?

Why should this have happened near Fallujah, as opposed to oh... Tel Afar, Mosul, Ramadi, Qaim, and all sorts of other places I ought never have heard of except on Jeopardy - Mecca Edition?

3. Taking Fallujah Will Be An Annual Event

Goes to show that we cannot "take" any place in Iraq.

11. Like Christmas!

Oh. Goody.

17. Happy Fallujah Taking Day!

Now, Bill O'Reilly is yelling at me for hating Christmas.

2. Bush, "Stay the Course and Die!! It's not MY children!"

4. they died for that noble cause. The noble cause Cindy S-and others still

7. Freedom's On the March

We can't cut and run.

Total Victory.

Fight them over there so we don't fight them here.

Bring 'em on.

Any other assinine quotes that I'm missing?

[savemefromdumbya]

5. sacrifice is the key word

these poor soldiers are being sacrified at the alter of Bush's demons. This war isn't Gods doing.

6. Did Bush "cry" again?

Scotty just revealed that * learned about the Falluja incident last night. But never the less, this morning he had to gather the press and gloat about how the economy is doing so well.

12. just the opposite:

President Bush smiles from inside the Oval Office after he made comments on the economy, Friday, Dec. 2, 2005, in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington.

[deutsey]

15. Well, let's hope one of these Marines left a letter on his computer

that Bush can use in a future "big" speech on Iraq.

:sarcasm:

9. I'm saddened by the blood of a 100 thousand innocent Iraqis dripping

from our American flag. For whatever that's worth.

[brentspeak]

14. It's closer to 30,000 - 50,000 dead Iraqi civilians

Not like that's something to celebrate. But nevertheless.

[jobycom]

21. WHere do you get that number?

And I didn't say civilians. Soldiers who are slaughtered for no good reason are innocent lives, too.

[BrotherBuzz]

10. I see 'Noble Cause' has been downgraded to an 'Important Cause'

I still say Cindy Sheehan and the Americans deserve to know what the noble cause was....:shrug:

[Loonman]

13. Who are they, Tom Daschle, now?

Assholes.

[Bonobo]

16. "Tough day"!!? Pulling overtime is a "tough day". Not 10 dead, 11 maimed!

[DeepModem Mom]

23. Yes -- "TOUGH DAY"??? What's wrong with these people??? nt

[VegasWolf]

18. Tough day for Bush. This a two Jack Daniels bottle day. nt

[tabasco]

19. Fuck You NeroBu$h !

You don't give a shit about our soldiers.

You will be punished for your crimes, you stupid criminal.

You think you are a king but you are not even human.

[NoSunWithoutShadow]

24. Thank you, my thoughts too.

Fuck this motherfucker, and go Cheney himself too.

Maybe now he'll attend his first funeral of a dead soldier.

Nah, never happen, chicken, chickenhawk motherfucker.

(10 dead today and 11 wounded. Tomorrow. 20, 30, 40, 50)

20. Bush did not make any such warnings in the sales job run up to

the authority vote. Of course anybody with a brain would know that would be the consequence to such a vote but that's a different issue.

[MasonJar]

22. And so citizens are fawning all over themselves thanking Bush

for being saddened. Maybe he can photo op with more military fellows like he did the few black residents of NO that would stand within a few feet of the liar. I saw a little smidgeon of his Thurs demand performance with the captive naval audience on Keith Obermann last night. The clapping was very unenthusiastic and most were playing the sit on your hands game.

25. At least Bush can get on with his life.
