BAGHDAD, Iraq - Nine American soldiers died in explosions north of Baghdad, the U.S. military announced Tuesday after the deadliest single day for U.S. troops in Iraq in nearly a month.

Six soldiers died when a bomb exploded Monday near their vehicles during a combat operation in Salahuddin province, the military said. Three others were wounded in the blast.

Another three soldiers died the same day in a roadside bomb attack in Diyala province northeast of Baghdad.

Two suicide bombers exploded themselves in a crowd of Shiite pilgrims south of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least 10 people, police said.

"Just in case you were wondering, I am warm and safe and all snuggy -- enjoying 18 holes at a luxury republicon resort with some members of my cabal of corrupt republicon cronies. Life is sweeeet. Oh yeah, too bad about those, uh, soldiers and stuff like that. They will always be able to remember that they died to keep republicon crony war profits high."
