Two American soldiers have been killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad, the US military has said.
Another soldier was wounded in the blast, in a western suburb of the Iraqi capital on Wednesday night.

The 1st Armoured Division said the bomb exploded as the soldiers were passing by in their vehicles.

It comes after two consecutive days of heavy bloodshed in Iraq, when nearly 100 Iraqis were killed by car bombs outside recruitment centres.

First thing I heard when the clock radio went off. It's just so sad. How long can this crap go on? How can decent Americans stand for this?

6. This isnt even on the front pages anymore

have our kids become so meaningless to the US public that no one mourns them except their families? Do they walk the streets over there wondering why the US public doesnt give a shit about them ?
Its like they have been thrown in hell, and no one gives a shit. all the news media, the bU$h regime, the comfortable cowards have made everyone who is dying into non persons..
another day , another child, another groups of civilians, another soldier, and our kids are not even on the front headlines ..
they should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country ..they should be home. All of them. Now.
some people need to go to prison for this crime.
