FOURTEEN WOUNDED IN IRAQ

Fourteen US troops have been injured in the last 24-hours following two attacks in flashpoint zones west of Baghdad.

A senior coalition spokesman confirmed three soldiers were wounded on Tuesday in an "improvised explosive device" (IED) attack against their vehicle in Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad.

Another two were injured at Ramadi, 60 miles west of the Iraqi capital, also in an IED attack.

All five were evacuated to nearby medical facilities. The strikes followed a series of attacks on Monday which ended a two-day spell when the military recorded no casualties.

The official said nine soldiers were injured in four attacks in Baghdad on Monday. This included two soldiers wounded in small arms fire.

Another attack involved a hand grenade which injured three soldiers from the 1st Armoured Division. A further three soldiers from the same division were wounded in an IED attack.

The spokesman said a soldier from the 4th Infantry Division was injured when his unit was hit in a tactical assembly area by mortar fire on Monday afternoon.

US forces have endured an average of 12 to 15 attacks a day in Iraq since US President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat operations on May 1.

Point is, you deal Arab-Islam Cultura and nothing change...you can not give freedom to culture that not value freedom but value "allah" authority...very word of Muslim mean slave of Allah...and unlike Western PC mentality (yes Bush guilty of it too) you not simply change mind of these bastards. You want change for Arab? There is one former model, model is Lebanon...when 51% Arabs in Lebanon Christian, it peaceful and prosperous and republic, when Musli PLO arrive they tip balance, now Lebanon piss hole like all Arab land...so lesson simple: Bring them Cross or Bring them Sword...both get job done.

I don't know, you figure it out.

You have to forgive me I thought E.T. was a movie about entrenching tools, until someone told me it was some sort of illegal alien, didn't see it, so I never did find out if he told me the truth.

Of course, the conservative fox news will give this story all of twenty seconds in between their advertising the filth they call prime time programming.

Having said that, I disagree with the general anti-Iraq war sentiments (but unlike most of the chickenhawks, as a vet, I respect your right to disagree).

Why are we not hearing about the death of attackers? In vietnam when someone attacked us we generally killed them.

14 wounded (thank God), no one killed today.

Not as bad as some Saturday nights in Chicago.

Take a Valium and call the rest of us after the 2004 election.
