BAGHDAD, March 15 (AFP) - A car bomb in western Baghdad on Tuesday killed a US soldier and wounded six others, a US military spokesman told AFP.

"A Taskforce Baghdad soldier died March 15th at around 10 am (0700 GMT) when a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated, while the soldier was on patrol. Six other soldiers were wounded," the spokesman said. snip

The first car bomb wounded US soldiers who had been called to the scene to inspect a suspicious blue BMW that had been parked close by, the gas station's owner said.

A second car bomb exploded when Iraqi and US security arrived to evacuate the casualties, the owner added. It was unclear which blast caused the Iraqi dead and wounded.

2. Shame on our Corporate News Media for not paying attention to this carnage

Damn, it was the brave Journalists in Vietnam that shed light on all the senseless killing in that war. Unfortunately today's Iraqi occupation and war on terrorism is for the benefit of NOT our once great America, but for the corporate robber barons we know as "War Profiteering." Hard to whip up patriotism for the continued gutting of our government by *'s buddies = the large Military Industrial Corporations a.k.a. USA's Masters of War. :(

Rest in Peace dear soldiers for your intentions were good. You are not the corrupt forces that sent you to kill and die for control over the corporate oil fields of the Middle East.

4. Another troop

that won't be coming back.

To the BFEE and neocons he is just cannonfodder, just a number. Something to be used and thrown away.

But we know he was so much more.

RIP bro.
