The US commander in charge of all forces in Iraq said on Thursday American troops might not be brought home once international peacekeepers are deployed to the war-torn country, a reversal that means 150,000 US soldiers may stay in Iraq indefinitely.

A US soldier was killed in Iraq after the vehicle he was travelling in collided with another vehicle when his supply convoy came under fire near ad-Diwaniyah, the US army said in a statement on Wednesday.

The U.S. military in Iraq says two American soldiers have died in separate incidents south of Baghdad.

The U.S. Department of Defense confirmed Thursday that a Virginia-based Navy SEAL was killed in combat in Afghanistan.

This war is a lie, a savage and brutal lie, but a lie nonetheless. Each day of loss and devastation forces the liars to revise the words of their deceit. And each destructive day forces a supportive supine press corps to find new ways to avert their eyes from the truth.
