10 US soldiers were reported wounded in Iraq today.

In addition, we are adding 3 killed and 5 wounded amongst US troops and
civilians in the Iraq War, some during the leadup to the war. The
prewar casualty total and the US civilian total will be ongoing
subprojects for a while, as they are pretty hard to track down.

June 18

US troops were attacked with a pipe bomb dropped from a roof on their
patrol in Baghdad. No reports of casualties.

June 20

Experts are now reporting on the Shiite strategy in Iraq. It is not
that they love the Americans, it is more that for now they are content
to let the Sunni fight the Americans on their own. The Shiite wish is
that the casualties will force the US to leave Iraq, then the Shia can
take over. Same experts also describe most Shia leaders as close to the
Iranian clergy.

Just being reported now, a US Humvee in a 2-Humvee patrol was ambushed
at the Baghdad airport at midnite. There was an explosion on the
driver's side followed by gunfire. The passenger and the driver were
both hit and wounded and the attackers escaped.

June 22

More on the 2 attacks on US forces. The attack on Khan Azad was with an
RPG; they attacked a Bradley armored vehicle, the last truck in the
convoy. The wounded soldier is in bad shape. Also, there appears to be
another wounded soldier in this incident so it is really 2 wounded.

The attack in Hit, said to be caused by a land mine, was actually
possibly caused by a roadside bomb.

In Ramadi, US troops in a convoy of 2 tanks and 4 Humvees were attacked
by inaccurate automatic weapons fire that spattered the dirt around
their vehicles. They saw a young girl running away holding an AK-47.
They followed her home and found the weapon wrapped in a red dress.
They released her later when they learned she was 12 years old! LOL.

Unbiased observers are now stating that is almost certain that a
majority of Iraqis are supporting the resistance.

A US official at Bagram Base in Afghanistan, said "Everytime we leave
this base, we are in a war zone. We are shot at here everyday, several
times a day." That is just one base in Afghanistan, and these attacks
are never reported to the public. Even massive Bagram was considered
too insecure for a Rumsfeld visit recently. US soldiers are supposedly
very nervous and trigger-happy in Afghanistan lately.

June 23

A Humvee in a US convoy were attacked with an RPG in Khaldiya, near
Habbaniya, Iraq. 1 US soldier wounded; the attacker escaped.

US troops in a convoy were attacked in Habbaniya, Iraq with 2 RPG's. No
casualties.

US troops guarding the power plant in Fallujah were attacked with RPG's
and automatic weapons again, with no casualties. The power plant was
hit once again by enemy fire.

The mayor's office in Fallujah was attacked with an RPG again with no
casualties. The attacker seems to have escaped.

3 American soldiers were wounded yesterday when a grenade was thrown at
them in Baghdad when they were visiting a wheelchair shop after raising
money to help a disabled Iraqi boy.

Possibly the same incident, but we are uncertain: Foreign journalists
watching a rehearsal of Iraq's national orchestra said three U.S.
soldiers standing guard across the street from the rehearsal were
wounded when a grenade was lobbed at them.

US soldiers were attacked again in Ramadi, a now-daily occurance. No
word on casualties.

A US convoy in the Baghdad neighborhood of Al-Zawra was attacked during
the night. A 15-minute firefight ensued but there was no word on
casualties.

The Iraqi resistance has reportedly been attacking power stations,
sewage and water systems, according to the US military.

*********************************************

Additions to the US casualty report totals:

Army Pfc. Spence McNeil will be added to KIA, as news reports are
starting to list all those KIA in the operation, not just in active
combat, as killed in the Iraq War. He was killed in Saudi Arabia before
the war.

In addition, the following will also be added (all will be added to Iraq
War totals, but not to totals since March 19):

Spc. Brian M. Clemens killed in Kuwait on February 7.

Army Sgt Michael C. Barry, 29, killed in Qatar on Feb. 1.

November 22, 2002 attack in Kuwait by Kuwaiti police officer, wounding 2
US servicemen.

Human shields Shane Claiborne, Cliff Kindy, Weldon Nisley, US citizens,
will be added to the wounded. Their vehicle was attacked as they were
leaving Iraq for Jordan at the start of the war. They were headed to
Jordan, driving the desert highway, when they were attacked by the US
Crusader thugs in jets for no reason.

As of 6-24-03, in the past 97 days, since the start of the MIP*, the US
has suffered 1,125 casualties in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan,
Djibouti, Colombia, Israel, Palestine, Pakistan, Yemen, and Jordan - 228
killed, 894 wounded, and 3 POW; or 11.8 casualties and 2.4 killed per
day. For the MIP*, there have been 1,030 US casualties, 1,025 Crusaders
and 5 US civilians - 202 killed and 828 wounded, or 10.8 casualties and
2.1 killed per day. The British have suffered 40 killed or missing - 37
British Crusaders were killed; 1 British civilian was killed and 2 are
missing; the British Crusader wounded tally is unknown. A rough though
incomplete estimate of Iraqi civilians murdered in cold blood by the
Crusaders is 7,243. There were 52 US casualties in the past 10 days, 10
killed and 42 wounded. 39 of the 52 casualties were in the MIP*.

A good analogy for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be a teenager
(Israel) killing a kitten (the Palestinians) with a hammer, with the
American press reporting on the horrific, monstrous scratching and
biting ("Palestinian terrorism") inflicted on the poor victimized boy by
the kitten in its frothy, howling, frenzied death throes.

Bush says that he does not need approval from the U.N.to wage
war.& he didn't need the approval of the voters to become
president either,did he?

Your reasoning is quite illogical, and it is sophistry of the worst
kind. How does Vietnam fit in?
