Two of Seven Soldiers Who Wrote 'NYT' Op-Ed Die in Iraq

NEW YORK The Op-Ed by seven active duty U.S. soldiers in Iraq questioning the war drew international attention just three weeks ago. Now two of the seven are dead.

Sgt. Omar Mora and Sgt. Yance T. Gray died Monday in a vehicle accident in western Baghdad, two of seven U.S. troops killed in the incident which was reported just as Gen. David Petraeus was about to report to Congress on progress in the "surge." The names have just been released.

Gen. Petraeus was questioned about the message of the op-ed in testimony before a Senate committee yesterday. . .

Then that barrel of monkeys Dick Cheney must've pleasantly piped in with something like..."Georgie, when you're finished playing with Saddam... Can I have the all of the dirty oil? I promise to share. I just don't want those poor Iraqis or you to have to deal with the financial responsibility that comes with this dirty, dirty delightful crude..."
