Iraq: Two Marines killed in enemy action Sunday
2006-10-16
Two US Marines assigned to Regimental Combat Team 5 were killed in combat Sunday during enemy action in Anbar province, the military reported. The Marines were the third and fourth killed over the past two days in the restive province, that stretches from west of Baghdad to the Saudi Arabian, Jordanian and Syrian borders. Earlier Sunday, the military reported three soldiers died in a roadside bombing a day earlier south of Baghdad.

#1  The Marines were the third and fourth killed over the past two days

I heard that on the radio this morning, too ... 68 killed over the weekend.

There's not enough on many single days to be sensational, so we add 'em up. Same with Murtha's speech - some of which I read here earlier - 'more killed in last two months'

The war would've been over by now, save the work of Murtha, Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi, Reid, et al.

Wasn't it a year ago when hundreds were being killed every two days?
