BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A roadside bomb blast killed 14 Marines and a civilian interpreter Wednesday as they rode in a vehicle near Haditha, Iraq, U.S. military officials said.
The military said the bomb struck the amphibious assault vehicle about 1 mile (about 2 kilometers) south of Haditha, along the Euphrates River about 135 miles northwest of Baghdad. The military said one Marine was wounded.
On Monday, six Marine sniper team members were killed in a firefight near the same city and a Marine was killed in nearby Hit. Twenty-one Marines have been killed in the region in three days. The number of U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war stands at 1,820, according to U.S. military reports.
All 21 Marines who were killed Monday and Wednesday were assigned to Regimental Combat Team 2, part of the 2nd Marine Division, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force.

Times Leader OnlineWith a break in his voice, (Police Chief)Carpenter said, "I really liked him a lot and I know people say that all the time when they talk about someone who has died but I am just physically sick to my stomach to think that he's gone."
How many more of us have to become sick to our stomach before we end this illegal war?
One month vacation?
WTF?
Bring them all on!!!! every terrorist, every anti-american muslim
we're a ing empire, we can't be stopped, all of us are so ing rich, we have life to give away for any cause!~!!!!
Bush, the leader of leaders, even said it best:
BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
21 soldiers aint
If I were Bush, I don't know how I could sleep at night, knowing that while I'm vacationing on my ranch, young men are dying out there. When I saw those pictures NbaDan posted, i couldn't help but realise that yesterday, while I was probably studying or at my girl's those guys were out there dying. There's something macabre about that line of thought. Ofcourse many people die every second all over the world, but its amazing how much of a difference it makes to you put a face to the casualty.
Yes, how can the President possibly work from home when his modem is in Washington?
its called Evil, manumania
the people that are making decisions that affect everyones lives are devil worshipping evil people
ever heard of bohemian grove? google it up
Look I didn't say anything about it being wrong, or Bush being evil alright, so calm your paranoid ass down. I merely said that if I (emphasis on "I") were in Bush's shoes, it would be hard to cope with that fact. My conscience would never let me sleep.
*Edit* Actually, I've thought about it, and I can't really tell if you're being sarcastic or what. please elaborate.
yeah because you are more than likely a good person
on the other hand
bush is not
hence his constant vacationing during times of him LEADING US TO VICTORY AND BEING OUR LEADER DURING THE WAR WITH IRAQ, I MEAN TERROR, I MEAN OSAMA
Its terrible that american troops died. THose men served our country. but think had we had the same at ude like NBADan after Normandy and the pacific. where in one battle we lost 2000 troops in one day. Would NBADan be here typing anti american propaganda. I doubt it..
There is a price to pay for stability and peace.
Tell me a time peace has been negotiated.....and succeeded..
i dare you.
I defy you to step up and point out where on this thread NBAdan has posted a single ing statement being nonamerican and a single ign statement that was propoganda you ass blind chickenhawk
do you think we'd all be sucking bush's if we lost 2000 troops in one day tommorow? you're a ing idiot man
im still waiting for a picture btw
apparantly, these statements, along with excluded hyperlinks, are now officially "anti american and propoganda" according to a loyal Conservative American from Georgetown, Tx
This great big lump of stupid just made my new signature
my only regret is that you aren't clandestino
thanks Manu mania. you calling anyone lame would raise their esteem. i dont need your approval. but thanks for dodging the question.
i wont give you your pic. and i wont engage in infantile bull you call disscusion. and if you want to actually discuss policy consult NBaDan so you could get pointers. maybe you could wash his hubcabs as a fee.
maybe you can explain to me where he was anti american in this thread, chickenhawk
Nbadan you should STFU when talking bout Marines as if you where one. How long where you a U.S. Marine and with what unit? I disagree with your view that Bush does not care about what happened or the Marines did not volunteer to be Marines. They fight.. that's what Marines do. I am sure if they read this post and where still alive and you where like in front of them you would get an earfull or your ass kicked. Or both.
I don't think that pointing out those 21 Marines having been killed in 3 days, many from the same regimental company is spreading propaganda. For the most part, I try to support the troops in my posts because I know that, hey, there by the grace of God go I, but when I feel that policy is bad or when our non-com troops are exploited to cover up for the administration of bad policy, I'm gonna call people for that.
These Marines didn't just die to protect Iraqi democracy - they died so numskulls like you and I can have the freedom to post our thoughts on forums like this. Whether we agree with those posts or not.
Where exactly did I bad-mouth the Marines? I was merely pointing out that while W is busy vacationing in Crawford, the war in Iraq is getting progressively more lethal. A recent report by the Army pointed out that insurgents are dynamically attacking our troops with progressively deadlier bombs and munitions. I want to know what the administration plans to do about it.
Marines don't sign up to go on safari with cameras or cruise a river for fishing..
It's hardcore combat... 12 weeks of brutal basic combat training.
You portrayed the Command & Chief as someone who does not care about the incidents or loss of life. You are incorrect in that portrayal.
Non com troops? Non communist? Marines are combat force btw in case you didn't know what a Marine is. Not some boy scouts on field study.
most hilarious thing ever!
many posters in here would rather the US just sit back and wait for the terrorists to attack us...
No its not. But what you added to that makes it propaganda.
Why is there always such a big deal made about the President going to his ranch? Do you think he is really "on vacation?" He's still on the job - he's just working outside of Washington. With all the technology we have now, many people telecommute - why is it so wrong for the President to do it for a month?
Besides, how many weeks vacation do the CEO's of major corporations get? At least 4 weeks!
Honoring the troops is another topic where the administration talks a good game, kinda like the budget, but their actions don't always match their words.No its not. But what you added to that makes it propaganda.
In light of the recent loss of so many troops from Ohio, the President should have at least flown to the town that lost 7 of those troops in one day. , I don't care take a trip to the tomb of the unknown soldier, Dover AFB? , do something!
