Three more American soldiers die in Iraq, two from hostile fire and one in accident
By Associated Press, 5/10/2004 16:04



BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Three more American soldiers have died in Iraq, two from hostile fire and one in a traffic accident, the U.S. command said Monday.

One soldier from Task Force Olympia, based in northern Iraq, died Monday of wounds suffered in an attack on his patrol, the command said. It did not say when the attack occurred.

A 1st Infantry Division was killed Saturday when a roadside bomb exploded in Samarra. Another soldier was wounded in the blast. A soldier from the 16th Military Police Brigade died Sunday night when his Humvee collided with an American tank, the statement added.

4. I find it increasingly difficult to drag myself on threads about more dead
soldiers, more dead Iraqis, more injured, more bombing, more demonizing, more battling,...all for that f*cked-up neocon-backed PNAC fantasy created by greedy, arrogant monsters.

It just makes me wanna' :puke:

I've seen the pictures and "they are great", he continued. They show our Defenders of Freedom (tm) Are not pussies or candy asses. Our dogs look sleek, combed and well fed.

8. Is it a 'hostile death' if they were fleeing from an attack and they
crashed? I would be really upset if my child died under attack and Bush's cronies changed his battle death into a 'traffic accident'.

Some please tell me exactly what 'Republican Morals' are?

9. 'Republican Morals' /// oxymoran
They believe in the golden rule and sometimes get screwed up in its meaning.

It goes something like this:

THE GOLDEN RULE

He who has the Gold --Makes the Rule

10. Does that bring this month's total to 34?
The last number I saw today was 31. We're right on track for another 100+ KIA this month.
