2 soldiers killed, 10 wounded in Iraq attacks

Iraqi guerrillas killed one U.S. soldier and wounded seven others early Wednesday by detonating a remote-controlled roadside bomb as the soldiers were on their way to a training range near Mosul. All were members of the 101st Airborne's 2nd Brigade, said Col. Joe Anderson, the brigade's commander.

Wednesday afternoon, militants exploded a similar device as two military Humvees passed through a neighborhood several miles from where the Hussein brothers were killed. A taxi near the Humvees took the brunt of the explosion, said a military police officer on the scene, who asked not to be identified. Its Iraqi driver was unhurt. A U.S. soldier in one military vehicle was wounded, but not critically, the military police officer said.

In another ambush, a soldier with the 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment was killed and two other U.S. personnel, including a contractor, were wounded when their convoy was hit by an explosive device near the town of Ramadi, west of Baghdad. The town is in the so-called "Sunni Triangle," from which Saddam drew most of his support from Iraq's Sunni Muslim minority and where most attacks on American troops have occurred.

Gunmen also attacked a Red Crescent vehicle Wednesday, killing one aid worker and injuring another, Sanchez said at a news conference in Baghdad. Red Crescent is the Muslim counterpart to the Red Cross.

101st and 3ID should do house to house and remove all women and children, then level the towns that are harboring these gurillas. Put the word onn the street that that is what is going to happen to those who harbor these rebels, and watch how fast it ends.

I'm positive that that type of freedom and liberty brought to the Iraqis will not breed any resentment or resistance.

We are losing one to three of our soldiers in this "liberation" program. Iraqi's where subjected to far worse from the hands of Saddam and his sons then what I just explained as a tactic worth exploring. Iraq wil not be free until these scum are removed.

What do you suggest, the damn status quo?

We tried that in Vietnam. Look how well that turned out.
