7 Killed

This news report contradicts itself, as it appears to be a "breaking news in progress" sort of thing, but it appears that 7 more US soldiers were killed today.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Seven U.S. soldiers were killed in clashes with supporters of a leading Shiite cleric in a Baghdad neighborhood Sunday, military officials told CNN.

The killings in the Shiite majority Sadr City came on a day that saw deadly clashes between protesters and coalition forces in the holy city of Najaf, fighting in Baghdad and a car bombing in Kirkuk.


Many more wounded. Upwards of 40 perhaps, though the reports are mixed. And, as we know "wounded" mostly means missing limbs or head injury. I think it's an appropriate time to honor a true American patriot, Cher, by remembering her phone call to Cspan.


...looks like 9 total today. Crap.
