Freedom Is On The March

It just keeps getting better.

TAJI, Iraq -- Seven members of Manhattan's 69th Infantry Regiment, which lost two area firefighters to a car bomb a little more than a month ago, were killed Thursday afternoon when a roadside bomb exploded near an armored vehicle carrying the GIs.

...

The blast occurred about 6 p.m. (10 a.m. New York time) when a small convoy was patrolling a mostly rural area near the camp about 20 miles north of Baghdad. The explosion caused one squad's armored Bradley Fighting Vehicle to flip over and catch fire, according to military officials. Members of the New York Army National Guard unit known as the Fighting 69th declined to identify the casualties.

One: You can't get the kind of explosives necessary to topple and ignite a Bradley Fighting Vehicle at the fucking Taji Home Depot; and two: did The Prez even bother to read about this, or does he have better things to do?
