Source: AP

BAGHDAD - Three American soldiers were killed in separate attacks Monday in Baghdad, the U.S. military said. That pushed the two-day American death toll to at least 10 nationwide.


Two soldiers were killed in a rocket propelled grenade attack and another was killed by small arms fire in east Baghdad, the military said.

The U.S. military said earlier Monday that three other soldiers died in separate roadside bombings on Sunday, when a total of at least six U.S. soldiers died in Iraq.

3. Welcome to Bizarroland
Apparently, accelerated troop fatality and casualty rates prove the Surge is succeeding. Don't ask why.
