As Americans and people throughout the world protested the Iraq war yesterday, 5 more of our troops were killed bringing this month’s total to 53. God knows how many wounded. 823 Iraqis have died this month.

BAGHDAD - A roadside bomb killed four U.S. soldiers patrolling western Baghdad, the military reported on Sunday, while another soldier died in a non-combat related incident.

The four soldiers died Saturday, the military said in a statement. Small arms fire followed the blast, wounding another soldier. The attack occurred as the soldiers were conducting patrols as part of a month-old security operation to end sectarian violence in the capital, the statement said.

So far this month, the soldiers’ battalion had found eight weapons caches and two roadside bombs, as well as helping to rescue a kidnap victim, the military said.

Another soldier also died Saturday in a non-combat related incident, the military said in a second statement. The circumstances were under investigation, it said.
