    More bad news for troops Grim Milestone For Troops
    http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/...245600,00.html

    The number of US troops killed in Iraq has reached 3,000 since the war began in 2003 following the death of a soldier.

    Special Dustin R Donica, 22, from Spring in Texas, was killed by small arms fire, the Pentagon has confirmed.

    The grim milestone was crossed on the final day of 2006 and at the end of the deadliest month for the American military in Iraq in the past 12 months.

    At least 111 US service members are reported to have died throughout December.

    Spc Donica was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division.

    The announcement of his death follows another earlier of a US soldier killed when a roadside bomb struck his patrol in southeastern Baghdad.

    President George Bush is under pressure to present a timetable for the withdrawal of troops.

    His critics claim they are being bogged down in Iraq.

    A spokesman for Mr Bush said: "The President believes that every life is precious and grieves for each one that is lost. He will ensure their sacrifice was not made in vain."

    The President has spent much of the holiday period consulting his closest aides and has promised to announce a new direction in Iraq early in the New Year.

    Hundreds of Iraqis are killed every week in sectarian violence which is threatening to pitch Iraq into full-scale civil war.

    A toll of 3,000 US dead is likely to be an emotive one for Americans.

    But it is less than the number of Iraqi civilians killed in a typical single month in the latter part of 2006, according to the UN.

    Comment:

    3000 dead US soldiers before the new year, how many more will die in 2007? Over 3000 Muslim civilians die every month , thus far over 100 000 have been killed and millions wounded and mentally scarred.

    This is the reality and price countries pay when the US and its allies decide to invade and occupy in the war on so called terror. Is the violence and deaths reducing? Can anyone see an end to this bloodshed? Is there an alternative to US imposed sham Democracy? Dont ask Bush or Blair they dont have a clue.

    Any human getting killed no matter what religions, race and nation is a crime of humanity.

    Let American public realize that they have lost 3000 of brothers / sisters who deserve to be living like any other Americans in America then losing their life in Iraq.

    Some jig-head's sick and perverted dream. It's not like Bush has to lay his life on the line, he just has to live with the thousands he sent to their deaths - and apparently, he don't have a problem with that.

    Yes. It made me sick to read what he said about Saddam's execution, he said "justice had been served" and seemed happy. Bush has had many more people killed. His administration has wreaked havoc around the world. When he gets hanged for war crimes and crimes against humanity, or locked up, then justice will be served. I'd say locked up because i am generally against the death penalty.

    I dont know if Saddam did or didnt deserve to be hanged, but for Bush to celebrate at Saddam's execution when he is responsible for more killings and torture is sheer hypocrasy.

    Cant the US get there butts out of there, nothing is getting better with there invasion, they keep dying, Let the Iraqis keep fighting they'll kiss and make up sooner or later InshaAllah

    The US are just spicing up the anger between Sunni and Shia, The hanging of Saddam didn't help any bit, Once American Soldiers leave then only will Iraq see peace, My opinion is let Iraqis fight sooner or later as i said theyll kiss and makeup

    Bush, of all people, should not have spoken, because he is equally as guilty of all the charges Hussein faced. But as they say, you are what you eat... and he has certainly become all he had once claimed to hate. What's worse is his attitude now. He wants things to get really messy now, because he's sure he won't be the one who will have to clean it all up.

    I will never forgive the man - his disregard for all human life, his smirking and his disgraceful words and manners have set my soul firmly against him.

    Bush won't let them leave! General Caldwell had already said that military action would not resolve the conflict in Iraq, but Bush ignored him and then sicked his new dog on him to force him to make a different statement. He thinks this whole thing is a game. I'm serious! Did you see the way he sneered into the camera when he announced the death of Zarqawi? Did you see any of our top brass behave like that? Hell no! They were respectful and matter-of-fact. They had class. Bush was the one who behaved like a thug... and while I'm sure he'd like to believe that "dead men tell no tales" - man is he in for a somewhat rude awakening!

    The government Bush appointed was not democratically agreed upon. He took advantage of the fact that a good slice of Sunnis were boycotting the election and from what I've seen so far, street gangs in NYC have more ethics than this government. If the best of their best behave this way, they have only served to vindicate the names of their sworn enemies, and those who don't agree to this are hostile, and therefoe terrorists in this man's mind!

    No... Bush will not leave Iraq because he wants to control Iraq - the government he appointed answers to him, and only to him. If Maliki likes Al Sadr... tough cookies, and that's exactly the way the game is played. All the Muslim countries must bow to Israel... if they don't, they are hostile and therefore are terrorists!

    Re: 3000th US soldier dies before new year

    Does everyone really think that if the US leaves all of the violence in Iraq would just stop?

    You are out of your minds if you think so! You should thank your lucky stars the US is there because otherwise what is happening there would spill over into the neighboring countries. Personally I wish the US would get out just to prove the point that the people over there are brutal uneducated people that are 3000 years behind the rest of the world. Really the US should just go to full scale war with Iraq use the air, water and whatever else and destroy all of these people. They are unfit for the world around them, but somehow find a way to make it everyone elses fault

    Don't think anyone ever said that, but whatever. The deal with Iraq is that their are Iraqi interests (various disputes) and then there are foreign interests (various disputes) and this is just snow-balling the violence they ALL believe is the best way to resolve the various disputes. Add to that the fact that none of them can come across as 'credible' or 'civil' at this point and they're ALL guilty of what they complain the others have done... and gee! How long can this situation go on? I don't see America as doing anything but helping one side, who behaves the exact same way as the side they fight. So how is America helping? We should get our butts out of there and pay restitution because we had no right to take the detour into Iraq to begin with.

    Lesson to Iraq: Next time you guys have a problem... don't ask foreign powers to... Help!

    Really? It seems you are the one who has no idea what the word actually means. The definition for democracy is: "Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives." If you did not know the United States, and Great Britain have recently had democratic elections, where they have elected Representatives through voting to make descions based on the opinions of the people.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electio...United_Kingdom

    The United States also recently had elections where people voted for the candidate they wished to see in congress.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electio..._United_States

    Therefore, I believe you do not know the meaning of the word "democracy".
