The U.S. military announced the deaths of nine more American troops killed in bombings and combat in Iraq, raising the death toll half way through October to 67.
Eight U.S. soldiers and one Marine were killed by roadside bombs and enemy fire in and around Baghdad on Tuesday, the military reported.
The highest death toll in one month was in November 2004 during the famous battles in Felluja when 137 U.S. troops died.
October's death toll would make this month the deadliest for American forces since then if it continues in this way. At least 2,779 members of the U.S. military have died and estimates say more than 18,000 injured since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
So that's about 3 thousand Americans and 650 thousand Iraqi who lost their lives as President Bush brings his democracy to Iraq. Isn’t this looking more and more like a sick joke?
WTF >_> _<
Who gives a damn if 9 u.s Soldiers Get Killed.
hundreds of iraqis die everyday...
w/e man.
Who cares about US soldiers died??????? You have got to be kidding!!!!!!
What about the Iraqis dying by the hundreds daily!!!!!
They wanted this so they have to suffer too...
Sadly it is looking more and more like a sick joke. Democracy my ass. At this rate, there will be no more Iraqi's left to vote in the "free" elections.
Democracy, if it's meant to be, will come form the inside of the country, from the people themselves. It shouldn't be instated by outside forces.
Bush doesn't want democracy. Look at Palestine. The people voted for Hamas, and everyone cuts off aid. What Bush wants is "friendly" governments.
It's sad indeed.
Omg. THEY SIGNED THEIR ASSES UP IN THE ARMY. if they ended up dying, its fault in the first freakkin place cuz they thought they wouldnt die since people of this day and age think they have the amazing miracle of immortality in war!! All the Arabs that just wanna go shopping or something and end up getting blown to peices is something you should actually bother writing about..
Much luff
