Meanwhile, 11 soldiers were killed in separate attacks, the military said, raising the U.S. death toll to 151 since a wave of violence began April 1. At least 753 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since the war began in March 2003.
Six U.S. service members were killed and another 30 were wounded in a mortar attack near the western city of Ramadi.
The city is about 60 miles west of Baghdad in Anbar province, which includes Fallujah. A military spokeswoman gave no further details and did not say whether the victims were Marines or Army soldiers, but most Americans stationed there are Marines.
Another U.S. soldier was killed and 10 were wounded in a bomb and small arms attack on a coalition base near the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.
Overnight, Shiite militiamen attacked a U.S. convoy with small arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades near the southern city of Amarah, 180 miles south of Baghdad. Two soldiers were killed, the military said. Through the night and into Sunday morning, Iraqis set fire to the long line of abandoned vehicles, jumping on the hoods and beating them with sticks.
An attack in northwest Baghdad killed two other soldiers and wounded two Iraqi security officers and another American, the military said.
This is very sad and my heart goes out to the family and friends who have lost a loved on in Iraq.
According to the article (Which I can't link to because it's for AOL Members only), 151 have died since April 1.
Whether you are pro Bush or against it, there's no way you can actually feel that our presence in Iraq is required. That the death of our Men and Women is expected and that their death is justified.
How many more of our men and women have to die before we pull out? This was a terrible mistake. We should have never gone in there. And for those of you who disagree, I don't see you fighting.
I'm tired of seeing our men and women die each day in Iraq. I'm tired of seeing these numbers, 9, 10, 11 everyday. This is not just upsetting but it's sad.
Let's bring our men home and let's let them have their land.
