Four U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq ( 2330 )
http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200604/02/eng20060402_255350.html

Four U.S. soldiers have been killed in separate incidents across Iraq, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

"Two soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb at approximately 9 p.m. (1700 GMT) on April 1 in central Baghdad," the military said in a statement.

A third soldier, assigned to the 101st Airborne Division's Task Force Band of Brothers, died from "non-battle related injuries" received during an operation near the Iraqi oil-rich city of Kirkuk on Thursday, the military said in an earlier statement.

It said a fourth U.S. marine, assigned to the second brigade combat team in the volatile province of Anbar, died from wounds sustained in combat operation on Friday.

The names of the killed soldiers are being withheld pending notification of next of kin, the statements said.

4. The Natalie Holloway and Scott Peterson stories are on CNN this morning
The sheep are awakening to those tales of "Pretty, Photogenic" people.

Something about San Quentin by National Geographic which is doing a special on Peterson's home.

14. Start another pile boys'

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

Carl Sandburg


Support the war - Donate a Son a daughter
The GOP working for a better America
God Bless America
