Four U.S. marines have been killed in action in restive Anbar province, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

The marines, assigned to Regimental Combat Team 7, died on Saturday. No further details were available.

The casualties followed the deaths of four other marines in Anbar, west of Baghdad, on Thursday.

U.S. President George W Bush last week boosted U.S. troop levels in Iraq after increasingly savage sectarian violence raised fears that the country could slip into civil war.

My heart goes out to their loved ones. I am so sickened by this, all brought about by an ignorant, drunken frat-boy who never had to face the consequences of his mistakes. As always, he screws up, and other people pay. This has to stop. I also mourn the Iraqi dead, and maimed. Bush is a war criminal.
