In the deadliest incident, six troops were killed and 30 were wounded Sunday in a mortar attack on a military base near the city of Ramadi, officials said.
Earlier Sunday, two U.S. soldiers were killed and another wounded in an ambush in Baghdad, officials said. Two members of the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps also were injured in the attack.
Another American soldier was killed and 10 were wounded when insurgents attacked their base near the northern city of Kirkuk with bombs and small-arms fire, officials said.
Two soldiers were killed on Saturday night, when insurgents attacked a U.S. convoy with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades near the southern city of Amarah. Throughout the night, Iraqis set fire to trucks and other vehicles abandoned from the convoy, jumping on the hoods and beating them with sticks.
Another soldier was killed Saturday when a roadside bomb exploded near a convoy heading toward the northern city of Mosul, officials said.
Ah Helloooo President Bush. Wake the F up. This is YOUR watch Mr. President. Take Fallujah and Najaf decisively NOW!
Lots of 2000 lb bombs and flames. B52s. 24/7. Take those two places down now! KILL THE ENEMY MR. BUSH. The Iraqi civilians are rejoicing over American deaths everyday by the thousands. There are no Iraqis demonstrating for US.
KILL THE ENEMY
AND YES THAT MEANS CIVILIANS.
They are killing US
"Ah Helloooo President Bush. Wake the F up. This is YOUR watch Mr. President. Take Fallujah and Najaf decisively NOW!" Not going to happen.
"Lots of 2000 lb bombs and flames. B52s. 24/7. Take those two places down now! KILL THE ENEMY MR. BUSH."
Really not going to happen. I wish people would stop asking for this. President Bush is not going to let this happen. Deal with it.
"The Iraqi civilians are rejoicing over American deaths everyday by the thousands. There are no Iraqis demonstrating for US."
This is true, but this is typical Arab PR. Anyone expecting these people to change radically overnight, in the next year, in the next decade, in the next generation, are only fooling themselves.
"KILL THE ENEMY"
We are, as best we can. To kill every Islamic fanatic without loss of life on our part would require a step that will not be taken by this President.
"AND YES THAT MEANS CIVILIANS."
Again, really not going to happen, at least purposely.
"They are killing US"
That's the part I agree with and it bothers me, but what choice is there?
