Bodies of 2 missing GIs found in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The bodies of two U.S. soldiers missing since a helicopter crash this week were found west of Baghdad, the U.S. military said Friday. That brought the number of U.S. troops to die this month in Iraq to at least 19 — most in insurgent-plagued Anbar province.

Four U.S. service members — two from the Army and two from the Navy — were injured when the U.S. Army UH60 Blackhawk helicopter went down Tuesday. The military has said the crash was not a result of hostile fire.

All but five of the U.S. military deaths in Iraq this month have occurred in Anbar province, the Sunni Arab-dominated province west of Baghdad that has long been a center of the insurgency against the U.S.-led coalition.

That shows the continuing threat from Sunni Arab insurgents despite the focus on Sunni-Shiite violence in Baghdad, which U.S. officials now describe as the greatest danger facing Iraq's new government of national unity.

7. Add two more to the pile!
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 Mossoul 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

The GOP working for a better America
God Bless America
