U.S. and Iraq forces kill 90 al Qaeda

BAQUBA, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. and Iraqi forces say they have killed 90 al Qaeda fighters around Baghdad during one of the biggest combined offensives against the Sunni Islamist group since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Seven U.S. soldiers were killed in roadside bomb attacks in and around the capital on Saturday, underscoring a warning from military commanders that U.S. casualties are likely to mount as more troops are put in harm's way.

U.S. air strikes on Saturday killed seven suspected al Qaeda fighters in Tikrit in Salahuddin province and near the city of Falluja, west of Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a statement.

Thousands of U.S. and Iraqi soldiers are taking part in simultaneous offensives in provinces around Baghdad to deny al Qaeda militants sanctuary in farmlands and towns from where they launch car bomb attacks and other violence.

1. Notice how many Americans are stupid enough to believe it?
What I'm curious about is why are people still volunteering for military service? They know where they're gonna be sent. Do they believe that they're truly protecting us?

2. Just wait
Won't be long and anyone who balks at living under the rule of some permanent REPUBLICAN president here in the US will be labeled an al Qaeda terra-ist.

Its coming.

4. sadly, many do
they buy the propaganda. They know their peers are getting blown to shit, and they think of that baseball song "send me in coach, I'm ready to play" and they want to run off and save the world for democracy.

3. "killed seven *suspected* al Qaeda fighters" --- boy, I hope they got that right.
I thought al Qaeda mostly targeted civilians rather than the US Army.
