DOD RELEASES NAMES OF MORE U.S. CASUALTIES FROM IRAQ WAR

The Department of Defense has released the names of more U.S. casualties from the war in Iraq.

As usual, the mainstream press and the Bush White House puppet FOX NEWS continues to ignore the deaths of these brave young Americans despite the fact the names of U.S. casualties in Iraq are carried on the extremely reliable http://icasualties.org/oif/ web site.

Apparently FOX NEWS and others are too busy reporting on Drew Peterson, Britney Spears and the latest car chase somewhere in the United States to report on the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq.

Sad but so true the depths the media in the United States has sunk to, especially FOX NEWS, when celebrity gossip is more important than the deaths of young Americans in a war that never had to be fought in the first place.

Commentary by Bill Corcoran, editor of CORKSPHERE, http://corksphere.blogspot.com/, the blog that isn't afraid to tell the TRUTH about what is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan and how the mainstream media in the United States has let down 160,000 young Americans in Iraq.
