Bombs kill 7 U.S. troops in Iraq
BAGHDAD (AP) — Roadside bombs killed seven American troops in Iraq on Saturday, including four in a single strike outside Baghdad, the military said, as U.S. and Iraqi troops captured two senior al-Qaeda militants in northern Iraq.

Separately, a predawn operation by U.S. forces working with Iraqi informants in Baghdad's main Shiite district of Sadr City netted three other militants suspected of ties to Iran, the military said.

Roadside bombs killed four soldiers northwest of the capital, a U.S. airman in Tikrit, and two U.S. soldiers in eastern Baghdad whose unit has recently targeted bomb networks, the military said. In addition, a British soldier died Saturday of wounds from a roadside bombing the day before in the southern city of Basra. A U.S. soldier also died Saturday of non-combat causes, the military said.

The U.S. military also cracked down elsewhere in Iraq, saying in a statement that seven other al-Qaeda fighters were killed and 10 suspects detained in Tikrit, east of Fallujah, south of Baghdad and in Mosul.

1. And? What do was say that hasn't been said? What do we do?
Until we get rid of this administration, we are powerless to do anything except make empty posts of sympathy and concern and sorrow that mean nothing in the long run.

We are soooooooooo screwed.

3. It comes down to:
how much pain are we willing to endure to continue with our life style?

As the troops continue to get killed, aim, shoot, drop bombs, tear each other apart on the surface,

underneath the ground lies the Black petroleum. Lies there, while we fight on the surface.
