Guerrillas Wound 3 GIs in Northern Iraq

[Kellanved]

AIN LALIN, Iraq - Guerrillas wounded three American soldiers in northern Iraq (news - web sites), and a U.S. raid on a remote village near the Iranian border failed to capture a top fugitive suspected of plotting attacks on coalition forces.

In Basra, British troops restored badly needed electricity to parts of the southern city and supervised distribution of gasoline after two days of protests over fuel and power shortages.

In central Baghdad, two grenades were thrown from a car at a U.S. military checkpoint; soldiers returned fire, killing one Iraqi, witnesses said.

Meanwhile, the current president of the U.S.-picked Governing Council said the interim government postponed the appointment of Cabinet ministers by three weeks.

1. Meanwhile, the US Commander-in-Chief* said he will decide today

whether to play golf or drive his gas-guzzling pickup truck around in circles on the Pig Farm in Crawford, TX.

"My taxpayer-paid vacation is only a month-long this month," the pResident said, "so this is one of the more significant decisions I must make as CEO of the Western World. But Amuricans can be assured that I will continue to take many extended weekends off through the rest of the year, as usual, and still accomplish all my fund-raising goals. On my honor, such as it is, I promise I will recreate prudently."


* Clearly rejected by patriotic and discerning US voters in the 2000 election; appointed by the so-called supreme court.
