American soldier killed in Ramadi

A US soldier assigned to the 2nd Marine Division was killed in a suicide car bomb attack near the western city of Ramadi, the US military said today.

It said the soldier was killed yesterday during combat operations near the restive city of Ramadi, 70 miles west of Baghdad. The name of the soldier was withheld pending notification of next of kin.

The soldier was the eighth American service member killed by hostile fire in the Baghdad area since Thursday.

1. Pile 'em high!

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Ramadi and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

Carl Sandburg

Bring the troops home alive and not in pine boxes
