9 US soldiers killed in Iraq in 2 days

6 minutes ago

BAGHDAD - Nine American soldiers were killed in the first two days of a new American drive to kill al-Qaida in Iraq fighters holed up in districts north of the capital, the U.S. military said Wednesday.

Six soldiers were killed and four were wounded Wednesday in a booby-trapped house in Diyala province, where joint U.S.-Iraqi forces were driving through a difficult web of lush palm and citrus groves, farmland and fertile river bottoms.

The military also announced that three U.S. soldiers were killed and two were wounded Tuesday in an attack in Salahuddin province. The operation began Tuesday.

1. US Troops will keep dying in Iraq & the majoirty of Americans
will accept it.


The Repug & Dem Leaders want to maintain the US Occupation.
They want to keep the Fiasco going to finalize that Oil Deal. The Repugs & Dems are afraid that they will be blamed if they force the end of the US Occupation, lose the Oil to other countries,Iraq goes down the tubes & Iran gains major control in the ME. That wouldn't be good for the '08 Election.
