Still Winning?

Ten dead and eleven mangled in one fell swoop.

A roadside bomb killed 10 Marines and wounded 11 while they were on a foot patrol near Fallujah, the Marine Corps said Friday, in the deadliest attack on American troops in nearly four months. At least 2,120 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the war in 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

Thursday's bomb, which was made from several large artillery shells, struck members of Regimental Combat Team 8 of the 2nd Marine Division near the city about 30 miles west of Baghdad, the Marine Corps said.
