Five U.S. troops were killed in attacks in Baghdad and surrounding areas on Monday, while another soldier died of non-combat related causes, the U.S. military said.

Two U.S. soldiers on a foot patrol southeast of Baghdad were killed when they came under attack from gunfire, the military said.

A third soldier, from the Multi-National Division-Baghdad, was killed when his patrol in northern Baghdad was hit by a bomb, the military said. Four others were wounded in that attack, the military said.

In a third attack, an airman was killed and three others wounded when a bomb went off in southern Baghdad, the military said.

A Marine assigned to Multi National Force-West was killed while conducting combat operations in Anbar province, an insurgent stronghold west of Baghdad, the military said.

Another U.S. soldier died of non-battle-related causes about 5 a.m. Monday, the military said, providing no other details.

There are many Americans who feel that we should execute 10 Iraqis for every Americn soldier killed or wounded.

This sounds and is indeed brutal, but effective.

IMO, it’s way past time to take off the gloves and have it out. Playing games in war doesn’t work. IMO, Liberal anti-war, anti-military politicians, like Pelosi, are to blame for our casualties. IMO, Liberals are self-serving, power hungry human debris.

Add to that, park a satellite over the borders and “take out” everything that comes across. When we’re done over there, we can vote all the Congressional traitors out of office and expose the corruption linked to every one of the “Congressional Royals” and then, maybe, this country will have a future.
