Five flipping years


The wood anniversary.

"Want some wood?"

And how is that "victory" working out?

Fierce fighting in Baghdad's Sadr City fuelled the bloodshed in April, with at least 1,073 people killed across Iraq and the US military's toll hitting a seven-month high.

Overnight clashes in Sadr City between US forces and Shiite militiamen left another eight people killed, including two children, officials said. The military said it killed eight militants.

According to data collected by the interior, health and defence ministries and made available to AFP, 966 civilians were killed in April, as were 69 police officers and 38 soldiers...

The April toll maintains the trend of rising violence that in March reversed a gradually declining trend seen from June last year. It follows 721 killed in February, 541 in January, 568 in December, 606 in November, 887 in October, 917 in September and 1,856 in August.


Awesome, let's keep winning like this for 100 to 1 million years shall we?
