TIRKIT, Iraq (Reuters) - At least three U.S. soldiers were wounded in a bomb attack on Wednesday close to the main American military base in Saddam Hussein's home town of Tikrit, a Reuters correspondent at the scene said.

The bomb exploded shortly before 5 p.m. as a patrol traveled along a road just outside the base, one of Saddam's former palaces, around 110 miles north of Baghdad.

This Plame affair coupled with the daily killings and wounded in Iraq might actually be the downfall of BUSH. I have yet to see cable news and talk radio say anything bad about him yet, I wonder how bad it has to get for that to happen?

12. Cowards sending soldiers to die.

Cowards hiding behind the flag and a raft of lies. I supported the war in Afghanistan, to destroy al qaeda. But not the Iraq Oil War. We didn't do the job right in Afghanistan, and needlessly invaded Iraq. If there is a hell, Bush will be there, with his cowardly, incompetent, and murdering cabal.

26 soldiers lost their lives in September. How many will die in October? How much more of this are we expected to endure???

15. Never thought we'd censor the sermons of Shiite church leaders

From your CBS article:

(snip) U.S. soldiers fired warning shots over the heads of stone-throwing Shiite Muslims outside a Baghdad mosque. The Shiites were angry over the brief detention of their preacher, whom they said was detained and questioned about allegedly inflammatory sermons. The Shiites warned that if they did not receive an apology from the Americans and Iraqi police, they would turn against the U.S. occupation. (snip)

You'd think following them into their mosques would be somehow beneath sensible people........
