US solider killed in rocket attack in Iraq

(AP) – 3 hours ago

BAGHDAD — An American solider was killed in a rocket attack in southern Iraq on Sunday, the U.S. military said, marking the first American fatality since the last combat unit in Iraq pulled out of the country.

Lt. Col. Bob Owen, a spokesman for the U.S. military in Iraq, said the attack took place while the solider was conducting operations in Iraq's southern province of Basra.

Owen declined to elaborate, and a U.S. military statement provided no further details, saying only that the incident is under investigation.

The name of the deceased soldier was being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

1. Since Obama made it very clear that there are still troops there doing limited missions

then the answer is no. That's pretty obvious.

2. Of COURSE it's over. Hasn't the President said so? Hasn't everyone said so?

We have completely, totally and finally ended the Iraq War, unless that is we discover that we need to keep fighting it.
How much more "over" can something be?

3. Non combat operations, I'm sure.

5. So was this a noncombat death?

4. As long as the US military is present in Iraq

we are still the hostile occupiers. There never was a 'war' in the classical sense.
