I'm Certain The Radical Right Will Blame Jack Murtha For This

Ten Marines were killed in Iraq today:

Ten Marines on foot patrol were killed and 11 wounded by a roadside bomb near Fallujah, Iraq, in one of the deadliest attack on American troops in recent months, the Marine Corps announced on Friday. A brief statement said the Marines were from Regimental Combat Team 8, of the 2nd Marine Division.

They were hit Thursday by a roadside bomb, which the military calls an improvised explosive device, or IED, made from several large artillery shells, the Marines said. IEDs are the most common cause of U.S. casualties in Iraq.

The large artillery shells used to make the IED were probably taken from one of those ammo dumps Bush neglected to secure.
