BUSHRA JUHI, Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Four American soldiers were killed in weekend explosions, the U.S. military said Sunday, and a suicide bomber killed at least seven Iraqi policemen north of the capital.
Three soldiers from the 89th Military Police Brigade, were killed Saturday in east Baghdad when a roadside bomb detonated, the U.S. military said. The fourth, assigned to the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, died Saturday in an explosion in Diyala east of the Iraqi capital.
With their deaths, at least 2,969 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq
war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
My Words follow. Notice that even the AP calls the occupation of Iraq, "the Iraq War".
Should we withdraw our forces from the occupation of Iraq?
I say yes, get them out of that civil war, our service men are not the worlds police force. Let the Iraqis solve their own problems. If Syria and the Saudis back the Sunni Militia then let them kill each other off. According to the UN Over 625,000 civilians have died in Iraq already, another 450,000 have fled the civil war to Jordan.
We need to get our service men out before one more dies to protect Iraq Oil money. The Shiites want the oil money and the Sunnis want the oil money, so do the Kurds. Let them die for it.
