A huge bomb explosion followed by a hail of gunfire and grenades killed five U.S. soldiers, the military said Friday. The attack came as the Pentagon tallied up the deadliest three-month period for Americans since the war began.
Seven soldiers were wounded in the attack Thursday in the Rasheed district, a mixed Sunni-Shiite area of southern Baghdad where U.S.-led forces recently stepped up pressure on extremists. The commander of U.S. forces in Baghdad suggested the ambush could be part of an escalating backlash by Sunni insurgents.
Those deaths brought to 99 the number of U.S. troops killed this month, according to an Associated Press count. The toll for the past three months — 329 — made it the deadliest quarter for U.S. troops in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion. That surpasses the 316 soldiers killed during November 2004 to January 2005. Read more…
Wow, 329 American kids killed here, 329 killed there, first thing you know we’ll be engaged in a real war, instead of a ’slam dunk’ demonstration of ’shock and awe’, a ‘piece of cake’ walk to accept ‘flowers in our gun barrels’, while graciously accepting the ‘thanks of the Iraqis’ for ‘putting them on the path to a free and peaceful democracy that will be the envy of the middle east’.
What the United States really needs is a liberator who will invade Washington DC and put the country on the path to a free and peaceful democracy, following the rule of law and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That person's name is Al Gore.
For a party that’s for ‘The Right of Life’, and against ‘Abortion’, these fucking Repugnican bastards have murdered a lot of folks and created an abortion of an administration.
