| A New York police officer working with the US army was killed by a sniper near Baghdad, said a Multinational forces (MNF) statement, issued on Thursday. The 27-year-old American soldier was on duty at an American military camp near Baghdad when he was targeted by a sniper's shot, killing him immediately. The US army announced that 14 American soldiers were killed yesterday and another seven the previous day, which has been the biggest US human losses in Iraq in two days since major military operations to oust the Iraqi regime were seized. |

| #1 the biggest US human losses in Iraq in two days Maybe he meant the biggest two-day loss? Not only mean, but incompetent. It's always the biggest something, isn't it? Biggest since this, biggest since that, biggest in two months, biggest since I woke up this morning. Guadacanal was the biggest. Then D-Day was the biggest. Then Monte Casino was the biggest since Guadacanal. Battle of the Bulge was the biggest setback since Dunkirk - biggest setback in four years! Then Iwo Jima was really big. Okinawa was the biggest yet. Then we won. How did the press manage way back then? |
