A roadside bomb killed five American soldiers during combat in the western town of Ramadi, a hotbed of insurgent activity, the U.S military said Thursday.

The five, who were assigned to the 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, were hit while "conducting combat operations" on Wednesday, a statement by the Marines said.

The deaths brought to 1,934 the number of U.S. troops who have died since the Iraq war started in 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

24. I had been hopeful that the US casualty rate would be low this month

At 49 it's still one of the lowest months, but for a while there it looked like it might "only" ( :eyes: ) remain in the 20s.

Do these deaths even get reported anymore?

26. This was cnn.com and msnbc.com home pgs for about 15 mins

I saw the headlines one minute then less than 1/2 hour later it was buried in "page 2" on cnn.com

Even Delay was bumped after 1/2 day. So much bad news for the repukes that is bumping off other bad repuke news.
