Two U.S. soldiers apparently abducted in Iraq; two others killed

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) American troops and helicopters scoured the desert Thursday for two U.S. soldiers who
were apparently abducted from an observation post north of Baghdad. Ambushes and hostile fire elsewhere in
Iraq killed two U.S. soldiers and two Iraqi civilians and wounded eight other Americans.
A day after a U.S. Marine was killed responding to an ambush on Americans, reports of attacks on U.S. troops
appeared almost hourly too frequent for military press officers to keep up with. Most of the information came
from witnesses at the attack scenes.
Between Wednesday and Thursday, assailants blew up a U.S. military vehicle with a roadside bomb, dropped
grenades from an overpass, destroyed a civilian SUV traveling with U.S. troops, demolished an oil pipeline and
fired an apparent rocket-propelled grenade at a U.S. Army truck.

At this rate by election time there is a good chance that over 1000 troops will have died after the 'end' of the Iraq
war...and the Dem's will be coming up with headlines like "Trading barrels of blood for barrels of oil"...
