11 U.S. troops killed in Iraq

The toll in one of the U.S. military's deadliest days in
Iraq rose to 11 Thursday when the military confirmed that another soldier had died in fighting west of Baghdad.

At least seven Iraqis — six policemen and a 7-year-old girl — were killed in a series of bombings and shootings.

The U.S. soldier was shot Wednesday while manning a machine gun nest on the roof of an outpost in Ramadi, 70 miles west of Baghdad, the capital of the volatile Anbar province, according to a Associated Press reporter on the scene.

The death came on the same day that 10 other U.S. troops were killed in four separate incidents in Iraq, and a blue-ribbon panel in Washington recommended gradually shifting U.S. forces from a combat to a training role.

1. I heard that on our progressive radio station this morning.

I looked on cnn and msnbc websites and could find no mention of it. Shame on them. Thank you for posting it. Their families are about to have the worst Christmas ever. I can not even imagine. Thanks a lot George. You really are evil.

3. At this rate we could reach 3,000 by baby Jesus' birthday....

what a great gift George Bush could give to the baby Jesus, the blood of 3,000 Americans. :grr: Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of those "heathen" Muslims. :sarcasm: God must be well pleased by his pal, George Bush. :puke: I wonder what they'll discuss on christmas day. I imagine that's a "special" day for George and God, they probably really whoop it up.
