Bomb Attack in Iraq Kills U.S. Soldier, Army Says

I thought this was a dupe, but I am now sure its not.
One report today: The attack brought to 180 the number of U.S. soldiers killed...
The other report today: Since Washington declared major combat over on May 1, 181 U.S. soldiers have been killed in action ...

Both from Reuters.

Bomb Attack in Iraq Kills U.S. Soldier, Army Says

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A bomb that was detonated as a U.S. convoy drove past Thursday killed one American soldier and wounded two near the restive Iraqi town of Ramadi, a military spokeswoman said.

She said the attack happened east of Ramadi, in the "Sunni triangle" region where much of the resistance against U.S. forces is concentrated.

1. More deaths...

to be added to the tally against Whistleass. This is so sad, so needless, so wrong. I know the anguish caused by the death of a loved one; many of us do. How can that man sleep at night, knowing he has been responsible for causing misery to so many people worldwide?

Contrary to what the media seems to think, these are the important issues of the day, not the latest celebrity scandal. If it doesn't get broadcase, it didn't happen.

2. Were almost to 500 deaths, the Do Not Pass mark for Bush

Bush is horribly afraid of passing the 500, at least that was the insider scoop before the war. They felt the public could tolerate up to 500 deaths, anymore and the jig was up. I predict the "jig will be up" before the new year, sad to say, but maybe finally the people will wake up.

to be sure whether you're reading about one or 2 KIA. What a lesson in how to make two look like one!
