11 Iraq soldiers killed in blast

Eleven Iraqi soldiers were killed and two wounded when a roadside bomb
detonated next to their convoy.

The attack took place after they were ambushed by insurgents, an army
officer said.

The incident happened near Adhaim, about 60 miles north of Baghdad, said
the officer.

On Thursday ten Marines were killed and 11 wounded by a roadside bomb in
Fallujah in the deadliest attack on American troops in three months.

A brief statement from the Marine Corps said the soldiers were from
Regimental Combat Team 8, of the 2nd Marine Division.

They were hit by a roadside bomb, which the military calls an improvised
explosive device, made from several large artillery shells.

In another statement, the Marines reported that a US Army soldier also
assigned to the 2nd Marine Division died on the same day in a rocket
attack near Ramadi.

Earlier, the US command said four American service members were killed
on Wednesday, three of them from hostile action and the fourth in a
traffic accident.

At least 2,120 members of the US military have died since the beginning
of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to the Associated Press.

According to the right-wing scum in this newsgroup, these casualties are
to be expected because, well, because guys die in war, and we shouldn't
be upset by these deaths.

I'm waiting for the scum to ship themselves or their kids over to Iraq,
so they can stop a bullet or be blown apart for Bush's Folly.

Harry, wipe the gleeful grin off your face. You've posted this once,
and taken advantage of a tragic event to make your political point.
This is one of those events that is bad for Bush, right? Therefore it
falls into your 'good news' category. Right?

Sick puppy, Harry!
