Three U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq: military

Source: Reuters

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Three U.S. soldiers were killed by small arms fire during operations in Iraq's northern Salahuddin province on Wednesday, the U.S. military said.

The military said in a statement that two other soldiers were wounded in the incident.

The deaths took the number of U.S. soldiers killed so far in January to at least 19. A total of 23 soldiers were killed in the whole month of December.

U.S. and Iraqi forces last week launched a major new offensive against al Qaeda militants in Iraq's northern provinces of Diyala, Salahuddin, Kirkuk and Nineveh.

6. Higher & higher the pile becomes.......... junior doesn't care!!

~~Grass~~ Bush

Pile the bodies high in ~~Austerlitz and Waterloo~~ Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the ~~grass;~~ bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in ~~Gettyburg~~ Baghdad
And pile them high in ~~Ypres and Vedum~~ Mossoul and northern Salahuddin province

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the ~~grass~~ bush.
Let me work.

God Bless America
