KHALIS, Iraq - The toll of U.S. troops killed in postwar Iraq (news - web sites) surpassed the number killed in major combat on Tuesday, reaching 139 with the death of a soldier in a roadside bombing.
Two other soldiers were wounded when the bomb hit a support convoy in the town of Hamariyah, 16 miles northwest of Baghdad, the military announced.
The incident brought the death toll since May 1, when President Bush (news - web sites) declared an end to major combat, to one more than the number of troops who died during heavy fighting before that date. Since the war began March 20, 277 U.S. forces have died.
От себя добавлю - и в Ираке пока что не побывал...

Очевидно, как на похоронах убитых в Ираке, так и в самом Ираке, не видно больших возможностей для сбора средств на избирательную компанию республиканской партии. У кого-нибудь есть другая гипотеза, объясняющая данное явление?
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! ЗНАНИЕ - СИЛА!
