A US soldier was killed when insurgents ambushed a patrol in Baghdad with a roadside bomb and small arms fire early Wednesday, the US military said in a statement.

"A Task Force Baghdad soldier was killed when his patrol hit an improvised explosive device and took small arms fire from anti-Iraqi forces," the statement read.

6. Guess where that

"improvised explosive device" came from?

Answer = try the Al Qaqaa weapons dump, that the US turned a blind eye to.

Rumsfeld is responsible for the deaths of his own soldiers.
