Three Marines Killed, Two Wounded

From AP:

A roadside bomb rocked a military convoy in southeast Baghdad on Tuesday, killing three U.S. Marines and wounding two others in the first fatal attack on American forces since they transferred political authority to an interim Iraqi government.

If Iraq actually had sovereignty, this wouldn't have happened. Because if they actually had sovereignty, there wouldn't be any U.S. Marines in Iraq (well, okay, maybe a few at the embassy).

I believe that brings the total number of U.S. military fatalities in Iraq to about 860. Quagmire accomplished.
