Insurgents in "more secure" Baghdad ambush 8-man US patrol, kill 5 capture the rest

Those Sunni insurgents are fucking deadly and well trained, I often wonder if they can take the Shia militias like the Mahdi army which is 100,000 strong (or so) even with a small fraction of that number in Sunnis (maybe 20,000 insurgents?)

Main point though, this new "surge" REQUIRES these kinds of patrols, and I believe this it the first time Sunni Insurgents have completely surronded and destroyed a US force...not only did they destroy it but they had them so surronded and overwhelmed that 3 soldiers were captured themselves knowing full well what happened to the last soldiers

GIs killed, missing in Iraq - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.com

It sounds like they did it without losing any of their guys, undoubtably they will share their secrets of our weaknesses to the other sunni groups so they can repeat what just happened today

A dark day for our escalation and our armed forces

It's been awhile, I don't think they're going to find them alive
