U.S. Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said four raids had been carried out since Friday's attack and that ground forces, helicopters and airplanes were taking part in the search

As a parent of a deployed Iraqi Freedom soldier, this blog is dedicated to ousting Congressman John Murtha from Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District.

IT IS TIME TO GET JOHN MURTHA OUT OF OFFICE
