(CBS/AP) The U.S. military said Sunday that seven U.S. troops were killed in fighting in the Baghdad area and the volatile Anbar province, west of the capital.

The most recent casualty was a soldier who was killed Sunday during combat operations in Baghdad.

Two soldiers assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group and one Marine assigned to Regimental Combat Team 5 also died Saturday from wounds sustained due to enemy action while operating in the insurgent stronghold of Anbar.

Two soldiers assigned to the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) died when a roadside bomb hit their security patrol in Anbar on Saturday, the U.S. command said.

A soldier from the Multinational Corps-Iraq died of injuries sustained when his convoy was struck a roadside bomb at about 8:30 a.m. Saturday near Taji, which is 12 miles north of the capital and home to a major U.S. air base.

1. Mission Accomplished

I am sickened that while our MSM quibbles about whether or not to call the carnage in Iraq what it is - A CIVIL WAR - our troops, their families and innocent Iraqi civilians continue to suffer.

5. Well, no "graceful exit" for those seven

(snip)

Mr. Bush has repeatedly rejected a wholesale troop withdrawal or what he calls artificial deadlines, vowing that he would not "pull the troops off the battlefield before the mission is complete."

"This business about a graceful exit just simply has no realism to it at all," he said Thursday.

I fully expect Der Monkey to dismiss the Study Group "interventionists" and to continue his drunken rape of Iraq.

6. US Troops keep dying to protect our Freedom.

America cannot allow Terrorists to control Iraqi oil. Who said that?

If Bush has his way it will grow and grow.
