TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers were killed and four wounded in two separate bomb attacks in Iraq on Tuesday, the American military said on Wednesday.

North of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, one soldier was killed and two wounded when their vehicle drove over a bomb planted on a road on Tuesday evening.

"A 4th Infantry Division soldier was killed by an IED (improvised explosive device) which detonated under the vehicle he was traveling in," spokeswoman Major Josslyn Aberle said.

A military statement said a bomb attack in Baghdad earlier on Tuesday fatally injured a 1st Armored Division soldier and wounded two. He died of his wounds around 9 p.m. (1800 GMT) on Tuesday, five hours after the attack. <snip>

1. it is a sad day

when this thread moves immediately off the front page -

yes, I know that this seems like "old" news, but the dead and dying are continuing to add up.

I am so sorry for our military personnel - put into this situation with no just cause - by lies and the lying liars and their rah-rah media - drumming up a war for the pissant to use politically and to browbeat everyone into "supporting the office of pres" (that he defames by his very presence).

Washington blames loyalists of ousted Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and foreign guerrillas for the increasing attacks on U.S.-led occupation forces in Iraq.

Well, they can blame anything and anyone they want. I blame "them" for poor planning and destroying any chance for peace in this century.
