"Bombs kill 8 American soldiers in Iraq"
BAGHDAD - Roadside bombs killed eight American soldiers in separate attacks Sunday in Diyala province and Baghdad, and a car bomb claimed 30 more lives in a wholesale food market in a part of the Iraqi capital where sectarian tensions are on the rise.

Are we still "keeping our powder dry"? CALL your representatives and tell them to END THIS. How many more of America's sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, partners, must we lose?

1. The Republicans won't listen but bombard them anyway
It's our only chance. The GOP are just rubber stampers.

2. 3,376 U.S. troops now dead in W's war
Two more troops were also killed in Afghanistan.

The GOP will say that's a sign of progress, last throes and all the rest of the BS.

3. Following the horrific blast, blood pooled on the dirt streets...
Hospital officials said two pickup trucks filled with body parts were brought to the morgue.

"I was waiting near a shop to lift some boxes, when I saw the owner of the shop collapse,"
said Sattar Hussein, 22, who works in the market. "I helped him inside the shop, but he was
already dead. The next thing I felt was pain in my left shoulder and some people rushing me
to the hospital."

Ali Hamid, 25, who owns a shop in the market, said he was selling soft drinks when the blast
knocked him unconscious.

"The next thing I remember is some people putting me in a pickup with two dead bodies and
rushing me to the hospital," he said. He called the attack "a terrorist act aimed at creating
more sectarian tension and strife."

No group claimed responsibility for the attack, which followed allegations by Sunni politicians
that Shiite militias have resumed their campaign to expel Sunnis from Baiyaa.

Most of the shops in the market were believed owned by Shiites.

"In the next 90 days we're going to see increased American casualties because we're taking
the fight to the enemy," Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, commander of U.S. troops south of Baghdad,
told reporters.
