The Iraqis don't seem to realize they're supposed to be occupied and
pumping oil for Halliburton. Has anyone bothered to tell them? I guess
they can't be reached since Worldcom's $4,000-a-piece cell phones you
paid for aren't working over there and will have to be replaced with
$5,000 ones which you will pay for next year.

Three Soldiers Killed
By Andrew Marshall

Guerrilla attacks in Iraq killed three U.S. soldiers within a few hours,
the Army said on Thursday, as Washington pressed on with diplomatic
efforts to garner help in stabilizing the volatile nation.
A U.S. Army spokesman said a soldier from the 4th Infantry Division was
killed Wednesday evening in a rocket-propelled grenade attack on a convoy
driving through the hostile town of Samarra, in the heart of the restive
"Sunni triangle" region.
A female soldier from the same division was killed earlier Wednesday and
three soldiers were wounded when guerrillas detonated a remote-control
bomb as a convoy drove past in deposed dictator Saddam Hussein's home
town of Tikrit.
U.S. troops based in Saddam's sprawling former palaces in Tikrit come
under regular grenade and mortar attack but Wednesday's ambush was one of
the boldest yet. The bomb was planted just 300 meters (yards) from the
palace gates.
In Baghdad, an attacker with a small-caliber handgun ambushed soldiers
after dark Wednesday in the upscale Mansur neighborhood, killing one and
wounding another, the Army said.
The attacks brought to at least 84 [at least is right! -OBK] the number
of U.S. soldiers killed in action since Washington declared major combat
over on May 1, according to Pentagon figures.
