8 more U.S. soldiers die in Iraq

BAGHDAD - A car bomb killed at least 13 people Wednesday in a Shiite part of Baghdad, and the U.S. command announced the deaths of eight more American soldiers — some victims of a weapon the American command believes comes from Iran.

At least 44 Iraqis were killed or found dead nationwide Wednesday, according to police reports. The toll marked an uptick in the daily carnage as President Bush prepares for a showdown in Congress over the future of the U.S. mission.

Three of the American soldiers were killed and two were wounded after their Humvee was hit Tuesday with an explosively formed penetrator, a type of bomb that the U.S. alleges Iran has been supplying to Shiite militias. Iran denies the accusation.

Two other U.S. soldiers were killed and another wounded in an eastern section of Baghdad on Wednesday during combat operations, the military said. Two other Americans were mortally wounded Wednesday in a blast in Salahuddin province north of the capital.

1. If only we evil liberals had conservative values

then we would insist that more troops have to die tomorrow, so those that died today, did not die in vain. Instead we insist they come home now. Why do we not support the troops?

7. What are the words to express the feelings one gets when you read more lives have been given in Iraq

All I can think of is the feeling that the families have when the military men show up at the door in dress uniforms - How can anyone feel that this sacrifice is going to keep the murderers in Iraq? That kind of hatred isn't just in Iraq - it is everywhere unfortunately and what the U.S. is doing currently in Iraq is not going to change this unless we have a total turn around.
