The U.S. military says two American soldiers were killed in central Iraq Friday, the first fatalities since June, the deadliest month for U.S. service members in two years.

The military gave no other details. The U.S. usually withholds the names of killed soldiers until their families have been notified.

Fifteen U.S. troops died last month in Iraq. It was the highest number of military deaths in the country since May 2009 when American forces were still operating in Iraqi cities.

3. The oil must be really important to civilization.

It'd be cheaper to buy it.

More importantly: All the money and all the oil in the world can't buy back a human life.
