Three U.S. Soldiers Die in Clash with Sadr Militia



BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Three U.S. soldiers were killed in the Iraqi town of Diwaniya during clashes with the militia loyal to wanted Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, the U.S. military said in a statement Wednesday.










It said the U.S. troops were attacking two buildings in the town south of Baghdad used by Sadr's Mehdi Army to assault U.S. forces Tuesday when the soldiers were killed.

The operation also included a raid on a building housing Sadr's office and an adjacent building by soldiers from the 1st Armored Division and the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, the statement said.

I disagree. I'm looking forward to the draft; it should be fun. It will be a chance to see who is really an activist, and who isn't; we can compare arrest records when this is all over.

It will also be fun to hear "Get a job" again. I think I'll tell them I am going to buy their mortgages and foreclose. It's good to get old.
