What Does One Say....

One could rant, or put on a bullshit patriotic "kill them all" persona, or blame the destructive initiators of this war in Washington; but I will do none of it. Not now. Not yet. First, we a collective whole, must mourn and grieve these unnecessary deaths.

The remains of the soldiers -- Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Ore. -- were recovered near a power plant in the town of Yusufiya, where they had been operating a vehicle checkpoint that came under attack Friday, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell said in a briefing for reporters. A third soldier, Spec. David J. Babineau, 25, of Springfield, Mass., died in the initial assault.
