Two U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iraq; Aid Group Withdraws Staff Due to Heightened Peril

<snip>The London-based Oxfam, which had been working on water and sanitation projects with UNICEF, said it began withdrawing its 15 international staff members Monday and completed the move within 48 hours. Springett cited last week's bombing as only one of the factors.

"I think there's been a blurring of humanitarian and military operations in Iraq," Springett said. "It's setting a very dangerous precedent." snip

In the latest U.S. deaths, a soldier was killed and three were wounded in a roadside bombing in Fallujah, 30 miles west of Baghdad. The soldier was from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, the military said, providing no other details.

A second soldier was killed in another attack on a military convoy in Baghdad. The dead soldier from the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade, the military said.

1. World domination is not all it's cracked up to be.

And I just posted on LBN that the pipeline to Turkey is reportedly on fire...again.

3. Agree,

the solution is not to spend even more money or to send more US troops. What the Iraqis need is for the US to get the hell out and let UN or NATO peacekeepers in. That doesn't mean there shouldn't be any US involvement, we screwed it up, we should fix it, but we need to hand over control to people who are experienced in repairing countries not Bu$hCo whose main interest is to destroy countries.
