Back in Najaf, the military still held back from going after the militia's leader, a radical cleric, to avoid angering Iraq's Shiite majority. Instead, the U.S. turned to a new commander for an Iraqi force taking control of Fallujah, considering Maj. Gen. Mohammed Latif - who opposed Saddam Hussein - to replace another general.

In Baghdad, insurgents opened fire on U.S. soldiers guarding a weapons cache, killing one soldier and wounding two, the military said. Elsewhere, a Marine was killed in by enemy fire in Anbar province, the western Iraqi province where the turbulent cities of Ramadi and Fallujah are located.


The deaths brought the U.S. toll to 153 since April 1 - including 15 in May. At least 755 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since the war began in March 2003.

1. I've been wondering what's happening in Najaf,...

,...there's just so many fires all over Iraq, right now.

I will never, ever get over this time in my life,...ever. I will never, ever forgive the BFEE-backed PNACers for what they have done to this country and other countries around this great and beautiful earth. I hope I live to spit on each and every one of their graves.
