Every few days – since the Iraq war ‘ended’ – more US forces are killed and wounded. The latest casualty is a helicopter from 101st Air Cav.
“Close to 40 US soldiers have been killed in attacks and ambushes in Iraq since SaddamÂ’s overthrow, with eight fatalities in the last two weeks. Frequent ambushes, especially at night, have seen the use of land mines, rocket-propelled grenades and, in some cases, diversionary fire.
Paul Bremer, the US civilian administrator of Iraq, yesterday blamed elements of SaddamÂ’s Republican Guard and other “terrorist groups” intent on sabotaging the reconstruction effort inside Iraq.”
The line is crossed. The invading army has taken control of the country, so the legitimate defenders become Terrorists (and presumably denied all rights).
