BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier who was wounded on Tuesday in an attack on his military convoy in Iraq has died from his injuries, the U.S. military said on Wednesday.

The death raises to 23 the number of Americans killed by hostile fire in Iraq since President Bush declared major combat over on May 1. Two other Americans who had gone missing died under uncertain circumstances and six British soldiers were killed a week ago in the south of Iraq.

If I hear the media quote the 60 figure again I swear I am going to jump through the Internet and strangle someone.

The question isn't whether were doing enough to stomp out the Saddam loyalist. The question is whtether were doing enough to prevent accidents, which have proven to be a lot more deadly then Saddam loyalists.

re post no.4... you said in part, "I dont see the distinction beween dead and dead."


I sincerely hope you don't mean what is coming across here in this post. I see you're a newbie to FR so maybe you want to clarify that statement. As for the Mexican border and the Canadian border, I would like to see our military posted there to defend our borders.

re post no. 10 where you said in part "no link to al queda."...

Use the FreeRepublic Search Engine, search "all" and use these words "Al Qaeda" and "Iraq." There is plenty of information, reports, and of course discussion which clearly connects the info dots as to how Al Qaeda and Iraq are connected.

��I'm sorry yo��������u were unable to use the FR search engine, "igotfreedom." Let us help you out, ok?

Here are some links. Click on the links. On these links you will find articles, discussions, links to other sites, links to reports, etc. Don't let the titles of some of the discussions topics fool you; they all relate in some way to the Iraq - Al Qaeda connection. These links are not in any particular order.

I know it's a lot of reading, but I think you can handle it sir. If this was not enough for you, try using the GOOGLE search engine. Good luck.
