Two U.S. Troops Killed by Bomb in Iraq

[Olive]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Three Iraqi soldiers were killed in a drive-by shooting in Baghdad on Sunday and the U.S. military said two American soldiers had died in a roadside bombing in central Iraq.



Also Sunday, a suicide bomber driving an empty fuel tanker detonated his vehicle near a provincial police headquarters in Tikrit, killing at least two people, police said.

The attacker blew up the vehicle before he reached the back entrance to the station in the city 80 miles north of Baghdad, said Lt. Col. Saad Ibrahim.

8. My S.C. NBC affiliate covered fatalities and Cindy Sheehan this morning

Perhaps the compounded tragedy of so many lives lost affecting so many families will finally get through to Americans and force them to face difficult questions about the failure of Bush's War.

9. There are some politicians that think they can do a better job than Bush

at pulling a victory out of the mess we have created in Iraq.

Nothing short of an immediate and unconditional withdrawal will do now, unless one wants to have a larger Iraq War Memorial than the one we would get if we withdraw now.
