    So?

    Tragic as this story is there is absolutely NOTHING ANYONE can do about it. We will be occupying Iraq until we run out of soldiers. When that happens we will just kill Iraqis from the air indiscriminately. In the meantime we will bomb Iran turning the Shiites in Iraq totally against us. If we manage to get out of Iraq with 1 brigade alive I'll be surprised.
