Sniper Attacks Adding to Peril of U.S. Troops
NY Times
Excerpt:
KARMA, Iraq, Nov. 3 — The bullet passed through Lance Cpl. Juan Valdez-Castillo as his Marine patrol moved down a muddy urban lane. It was a single shot. The lance corporal fell against a wall, tried to stand and fell again.
His squad leader, Sgt. Jesse E. Leach, faced where the shot had come from, raised his rifle and grenade launcher and quickly stepped between the sniper and the bloodied marine. He walked backward, scanning, ready to fire.
Shielding the marine with his own thick body, he grabbed the corporal by a strap and dragged him across a muddy road to a line of tall reeds, where they were concealed. He put down his weapon, shouted orders and cut open the lance corporal’s uniform, exposing a bubbling wound.
H.L.s Take:
Interesting that the town this occured in is called Karma. This guy survived, but almost 3,000 soldiers have died for Bush’s lies, He lied his way into the war and is personally responsible for the death of all those soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. Almost all Republicans still support the lies and death…Throw the bastards out
