Suicide bombing in northern oil city of Kirkuk kills three, wounds 17
A U.S. Marine was killed Tuesday and a soldier died the day before in fighting in a volatile province west of Baghdad.

The military said a Marine assigned to Regimental Combat Team 5 died of wounds suffered in action earlier Tuesday in Anbar province.

The soldier, who was with the 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division, was killed in action in Anbar on Monday, the military said in a separate statement.

The names of the deceased were being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

2. But Zarqawi's dead. The war's over.

3. Add two more for the big 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.

11. It is all a game to them.

Not to just Centcom but all our leaders feel that way. The collective, individuals are just pawns in their game of power and money.
