I am going to be a nervous wreck before our son gets back home. I am sitting here typing this, feeling sick to my stomach with a huge knot inside me. How can I stop watching and reading the news? I worry constantly about Skyler. Please God watch over these soldiers and keep them all safe. I'd like to know which presidential candidate is going to really do something to bring them all home if elected. How many has to die first before they bring them home? I wished I could get an email from Skyler to know he's alright. Or just see his name light up on my buddy list letting me know he's online....The waiting is what I am no good at. ---- The headline in tonights paper. 5 American Troops Killed In Baghdad Suicide Attack BAGHDAD (CBS News) ― Five American soldiers on a foot patrol were killed Monday in an apparent suicide bomb attack in central Baghdad, the U.S. military said. Four of the soldiers died at the scene and the fifth died later from wounds, the military said in a statement. The blast also wounded three U.S. soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter, the military said. The statement said the soldiers were killed "when their dismounted patrol was struck by an explosion" and "initial reports indicated the explosive device was a suicide vest." The name of the soldiers were being withheld pending notification of next of kin. It was the deadliest attack since Jan. 28, when five U.S. soldiers were killed in a roadside bomb in the northern city of Mosul. Monday's deaths brought the number to 3,979 members of the U.S. military who have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. |
