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.

Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was asked about the toll at a
hearing of a House appropriations subcommittee.
"It’s approximately 500, of which -- I can get the exact numbers --
approximately 350 are combat deaths," he responded.
"He misspoke," spokesman Charley Cooper said later.
"That’s all."

Bush went AWOL. Why? Where'd he go? I dunno. His story keeps changing.
