Bomb in Iraq Kills 2 U.S. Soldiers

The soldiers were the first to be killed in Baghdad since July 8. But a roadside bomb killed two U.S. soldiers in a predominantly Shiite area in Baghdad on Monday. This was the first deadly attack against American troops in the capital in nearly a month. At least 9 Iraqis were also killed in explosions elsewhere in the Baghdad area. It is a grim reminder of the dangers that continue to face security forces and civilians despite significant security gains over the past year. You know, folks, this war has been going on between these groups for nearly 2,000 years and frankly, I don't think anyone will ever really put a stop to it.
