SIXTEEN AMERICAN SOLDIERS KILLED SUNDAY
Two American Civilians Also Killed in Iraq

From the AP via the Houston Chronicle:

Targeting American forces with new audacity, insurgents hiding in a date palm grove shot down a Chinook helicopter carrying dozens of American troops today, killing 15 and wounding 21 in the deadliest strike against U.S. forces since they invaded Iraq in March.

Witnesses said the attackers used missiles -- a sign of the increasing sophistication of Iraq's elusive anti-U.S. fighters.

Three other Americans were killed in separate attacks today, including one 1st Armored Division soldier in Baghdad and two U.S. civilians working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Fallujah. All three were victims of roadside bombs, the military said.

Man. It's time to get the hell out of there.
