U.S. soldier killed near Baquba

A U.S. soldier was killed and three were wounded Friday morning in a rocket-propelled grenade and small-arms attack north of Baghdad, U.S. Central Command said.

The attack on the soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division happened about around 9:15 a.m. (1:15 a.m. ET) near Baquba, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northeast of the Iraqi capital, Central Command said.

Earlier Friday, attackers fired rocket-propelled grenades at a U.S. military Humvee near a mosque in Fallujah, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of Baghdad, according to coalition officials.

Two soldiers were wounded in the attack, which happened around 8:30 a.m. (12:30 a.m. EDT), officials said.

1. That's really nice (not)

That you think the death of a US soldier is funny or something to compare to a song is offensive.

2. I was attempting to emulate Bush's attitude

but if the time limit has not passed, I will edit it out. I did not mean to offend anyone.

3. don't feel bad

i didn't see what you'd written, but the other poster is constantly complaining about others' posts... gets offended at everything... so don't feel bad... he/she/it has no sense of humor/irony/sarcasm, etc...

watch for folks like that here, but don't feel bad...

6. Dying soldier doesn't even lead the story anymore . . .

What a surprise. But I do rather like the photo down the column of the lineup of heavily armed soldiers staging a middle-of-the-night raid on a private home:



I'm so old (to steal a phrase from Bartcop) that I remember when the U.S. was against this sort of thuggery.
