Three American soldiers were killed in a rocket attack in southern Iraq on Wednesday, bringing to 12 the number of soldiers who have been killed in Iraq over the past three days.

With the overall U.S. military death toll in Iraq nearing 4,000, the latest killings mark a significant rise in deadly attacks against Americans.

At least 3,987 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an AP count. The figure includes eight military civilians.

Navy Lt. Patrick Evans, a military spokesman, told The Associated Press that three soldiers were killed Wednesday in a rocket attack on Combat Outpost Adder near Nasiriyah, about 200 miles southeast of Baghdad. Two other soldiers were wounded.

2. It's John W. McSame's surge. He owns it when it's "working".

He owns it when Americans are dying, and we're pissing ourselves into a long term recession.

Republican War Recession(possibly Depression).

4. God bless them, and RIP. I guess it was too much to hope for, that

casualties could stay down while we wait for President Obama to start ending this fiasco.
