Car Bomber Rams U.S. Convoy Near Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A car bomber rammed a U.S. convoy Wednesday north of Baghdad during clashes with militants that killed 10 people, witnesses said. U.S. aircraft launched strikes against insurgents holding out in the southern parts of Fallujah, and an Iraqi police spokesman said 13 police officers have been kidnapped.

1. I thought we "won" in Fallujah?
Oh, that's right - these are probably just "remnants of the old Sadaam regime" or "remnants of insurgents" or whatever the hell else cutsie little name we can call them to make the sheeple here in the US feel good about this war.

2. You don't suppose "people" equals American soldiers?
From the link:

The car bomb came during clashes in Beiji, a city 155 miles north of the capital, witnesses said. The vehicle hit a convoy and exploded, then U.S. soldiers opened fire.


Ten people were killed in the blast and nine others wounded, hospital officials said. The 1st Infantry Division said three U.S. soldiers were wounded in the suicide attack. Beiji is the site of Iraq's largest oil refinery and a major power station.

end:
