BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Insurgents attacked an Iraqi National Guard convoy and killed nine troops in one of at least five car bombings on Saturday in an upsurge of violence as Iraq's political leaders bicker over a new government.

<...>

The bomb struck a National Guard convoy at Abu Ghraib, home to the U.S. prison, some 12 miles west of Baghdad, and also wounded 20 Guardsmen, police said.

An attack on a U.S. patrol in western Baghdad killed two civilians, police said. The U.S. military said three American soldiers and seven Iraqi civilians were wounded.

A U.S. vehicle and two Iraqi vehicles were destroyed, and the blast knocked down power lines, they said.

1. Do republican oil/war profiteering corporation accountants statistically

analyze the cost effectiveness of each human casualty in relation to profits earned?

Oh, yeah, I forgot...they don't do body counts.

I guess dead and maimed human beings maybe go into the "petty cash" fund.
