BREAKING: U.S. helicopter crash in Iraq kills 5 soldiers. Attacks kill 4 others...

[Bluebear]

BAGHDAD - Three suicide truck bombers targeted members of an ancient religious sect in northwestern Iraq on Tuesday, killing at least 20 people, while the crash of an American transport helicopter near an air base in Anbar killed five U.S. servicemembers.

Four more U.S. soldiers were reported killed in separate attacks — three in an explosion near their vehicle Monday in the northwestern Ninevah province and another who was died of wounds from combat in western Baghdad.

In a separate attack, a fourth suicide truck bomber struck a strategic bridge on the main highway linking Baghdad with the northern city of Mosul, killing at least 10, police said. The span was bombed three months ago and only one lane had reopened, according to the police officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

In Baghdad, dozens of uniformed gunmen in 17 official vehicles stormed an Oil Ministry compound and abducted a deputy oil minister and three other officials, a ministry spokesman and police said.

6. nicely done

you know, of the many, many things to hate this guy for, one that is fairly trivial but annoys the crap out of me is this putting the presidential seal on everything he touches - and that "Golf Cart One" crap.

It just dramatizes what an egotistical, shallow, moron he is, reminds you what he really cares about, and makes the horrors he has wrought all the more despicable, if that is possible.
