Hotel death toll lowered to 7

Associated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Rescue crews on Thursday called off their search for survivors of a massive suicide bombing of a hotel in Baghdad that killed at least 7 people, just days before the anniversary of the start of the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

The military had earlier said that 27 people were killed in the Baghdad bombing. It then revised that to 17 and later Thursday Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said only seven were killed.

6. I will never forget that MP episode with the dead parrot.

Where the pet shop owner kept throwing the parrot up in the air insisting that it was still alive.
