BAGHDAD (AFP) - Four US troops were killed in the past 24 hours in combat in Iraq, including one Marine and a soldier who died Monday in separate attacks, raising to 11 the number killed since Sunday, the US military said.

"One Marine assigned to the 1st Marine Division has been killed as a result of enemy action in Al-Anbar province today," the military said, adding that a US soldier also died Monday of wounds received Sunday during clashes with radical Shiite militants in Baghdad.

Another seven soldiers were killed in the same clashes in the northern Baghdad suburb of Sadr City.

A US soldier was also killed near the northern oil center of Mosul on Sunday in a bomb attack, while the fourth American from the 1st Infantry Division died in a car bomb attack near the police academy of Kirkuk, also in northern Iraq.

2. It's hard for me to believe that if one Marine was killed was the only

casualty. I mean, how many more Americans were wouned in this exchange?

3. How many consecutive life sentences

has Smirky lined up so far? So hard to keep track.

[wuushew]

4. Maybe this will shut the "Its only one death a day" conservatives up

What was the approval for Vietnam prior to the lottery draft? Patterns in Amerikan stupidity seem to repeat.

5. I feel so sad...

for all of the victims of this illegal war. I feel sad for our troops, their families and friends; for the Iraqis, who were no threat to us, and want us to leave.

None of this horror, none of the bloodshed, none of the dead, the maimed, the destroyed lives, none of this had to happen. It is happening because a spoiled, arrogant, stupid, greedy, selfish criminally insane maniac was declared president by a right-wing, corrupt SCOTUS. * and his thugs are on a rampage, stealing, destroying, brutalizing, and enslaving on a scale most of us couldn't have foretold.

We need to get our troops out of Iraq, and this piece of shit out of the White House, and rebuild our country, and the ones we have destroyed.
