US soldier, Iraqi policeman killed in roadside bombs

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"Roadside bombs killed an American soldier and an Iraqi policemen, and the handcuffed, blindfolded and bullet-ridden bodies of two Iraqi men were found on the streets of the capital on Friday, officials said.

Two mortars or rockets also were fired Friday at the heavily fortified Green Zone, where Iraq's Government meets and the U.S. Embassy is based in downtown Baghdad. One landed inside but failed to detonate, and the other exploded nearby on the other side of the Tigris River, the U.S. military said. No casualties were immediately reported.

Meanwhile, a strict curfew was maintained in Baqouba, 35 miles (55 kilometers) northeast of Baghdad, where insurgent attacks the day before had killed 30 people, officials said.

An American soldier was killed by a roadside bomb north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said Friday. The explosion hit a military vehicle at about 7:15 p.m. Thursday, killing the soldier from Multinational Division-Baghdad."

Insurgent attacks in Iraq's Baquba kill 30

<snip>

"Thirty people were killed, including seven Iraqi soldiers, when more than 100 rebels attacked Iraqi police and army posts in Baquba on Thursday, the U.S. military said on Friday.

In one raid, insurgents attacked a police station and five police checkpoints with mortar rounds, rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire. Iraqi soldiers and police killed 17 rebels, the U.S. military said. One Iraqi soldier was killed and two were wounded, it said in a statement.

In a separate operation, insurgents also armed with mortar rounds and rocket launchers attacked an Iraqi army headquarters. Four insurgents were killed and six Iraqi soldiers died in those clashes, which also left two civilians dead.

Although suicide bombings continue to inflict heavy damage, insurgents have been launching increasingly bold operations against police and army targets."

3. Throw another body on the American pile and more on the non-American pile

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

4. This is turning into a fucking genocide

Hey, Matt and Trey.

2396 dead American soldiers.
Countless thousands of Iraqi cicvilians slaughtered.

Why don't you "parody" that, assholes ?

I think San Fransisco and Al Gore can wait.
Oh wait, you already did. How insightful.

There's a fucking WAR CRIMINAL sitting in the oval office right now!

9. How many names on the wall this time, Duhbya?

Oh I forgot, that will be a "future President's" problem according to the Chimp. He just wants to kill as many as possible during his time in power. Bush is a sick son of a sick family and I think your post is an insult to chimpanzees.

7. Thirty die in Iraqi city battle

At least 21 Iraqi insurgents and seven soldiers have been killed in fighting in the city of Baquba during which at least 43 insurgents were captured.

Baquba was put under curfew after the attacks on Thursday on police stations and checkpoints in the city and surrounding province of Diyala.

At least two civilians also died in the fighting, US and Iraqi sources said.

The attacks raged for "hours", an Iraqi police official said, estimating that between 400 and 500 rebels took part.

8. Usually, engagements are on a much smaller scale. I mean...

most of the time it's a small number of Iraqi fighters who launch hit and run attacks. These larger pitched battles are pretty rare outside of major operations like those launched against Fallujah or Al-Qaim on the border. Ambushes and roadside bombs usually last only minutes if not seconds, not hours.
