#1 Dr. Ahmed Hussein Al Dabash, a cleric at the mosque, told CNN he believes "I blame the Americans for planting hatred among the Muslims," the cleric said.

#3 Two U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq Monday when a bridge collapsed near Balad, overturning two of the Armyâs newest fighting vehicles, called "Strykers."

At 38,000 lbs, Strykers are not just big SUV's - they're huge SUV's. Note that empty 18-wheelers with 1 container clock in at only 10,000 lbs. You would have thought that these guys would have figured it out beforehand. What a waste of men.
