BAGHDAD (AP) - Five American soldiers were killed in two roadside bombings, the U.S. military reported Saturday.

Four of the deaths occurred in Baghdad and one in Tamim province, of which Kirkuk is the capital, the military said in separate statements. The five were killed during operations Friday. The bombing in Tamim province also wounded three soldiers.

The military gave no further information and said names of the victims were withheld until family could be notified.

And to think on the top of Time Magazine's cover the line was
"Now that the surge has worked, Now what?"

The # 1 problem in Iraq is that we are there.

9. The surge was all about buying time for bush and his fellow criminals

Many of which are democrats btw. The surge is not working, and will never work.

Bring the troops home now!

According to the MSM, the surge is an unparalleled success and the war is practically over.
