Some news we all wish we didn't have to hear

15 soldiers dead, 21 wounded after an attack on their helicopter.

At the scene, villagers proudly showed off blackened pieces of wreckage to arriving reporters.

Others celebrated word of the helicopter downing, as well as a fresh attack on U.S. soldiers in Fallujah itself, where witnesses said an explosion struck one vehicle in a U.S. Army convoy at about 9 a.m. Sunday. They claimed four soldiers died, but U.S. military sources said they couldn't confirm the report.

"This was a new lesson from the resistance, a lesson to the greedy aggressors," one Fallujah resident, who wouldn't give his name, said of the helicopter downing. "They'll never be safe until they get out of our country," he said of the Americans.

Great. Just great. This is such a fucking mess.. And I'm just waiting for Bush's statement saying that this shows how "desperate" Iraqi forces are without admitting that, appearently, they are getting stronger since the attacks are becoming deadlier. And, you know, where the fuck is Saddam? Where is Bush's plan for Iraq? He just got his $87 billion, but does anyone get the sinking feeling that things are just going to get worse until this man is out of office?
