Saturday July 26th, 2003

Three U.S. soldiers were killed while guarding a children's hospital near Baghdad on Saturday in the latest in a wave of attacks that have not been stopped by the deaths of Saddam Hussein's sons.

Despite two years of operation, the American-led coalition has failed to root out the Afghan-based Taliban/al-Qaeda forces. After a few months of retreat in the face of the advancing American forces in late 2001 and early 2002, they managed to regroup to engage the coalition forces in small-scale hit-and-run operations.

These are times in which there are many more questions than answers, and many Americans are beginning to form and articulate these questions.

The official list of American military personnel killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom as of 12:15 p.m. EDT Friday, July 25.

The U.S. government is investigating whether the death of a Missouri National Guardsman is related to 11 other incidents of severe pneumonia among soldiers stationed in the Middle East.
