“逊尼派三角地带”成为美军死亡地带
上午9点，美军一架CH―47“支努干”大型军用运输机在巴格达以西60公里处、费卢杰镇附近被地对空导弹击落，据称机上所乘美军是休息或消遣去的，美联社称事件导致15名美军士兵死亡，21名士兵受伤，是自伊拉克战争开打以来，美军遭受的最严重伤亡事件之一，仅次于3月23日美军的伤亡数字，在那一天有28名美军被伊拉克武装力量打死。美国有线新闻网则报道称，运输机遇袭事件已造成16名美军死亡，20人受伤。
当天晚些时候，3名美国承包商乘坐的汽车在费卢杰遭炸弹袭击，造成二死一伤。目击者称，成群的伊拉克人在被炸的汽车残骸前欢呼雀跃。
巴格达以西60公里的费卢杰镇是发生袭击活动最频繁的地点。费卢杰位于被称为“逊尼派三角地带”的区域内。该区域位于巴格达、伊北方城市提克里特和西部城市拉马迪之间，是伊拉克逊尼派穆斯林聚居的地区。伊拉克前总统萨达姆今年9月1日在卡塔尔半岛电视台播放的录音讲话中，称费卢杰是伊拉克“抵抗运动的首都”。11月2日美军运输直升机被击落的前几天，就先后发生了费卢杰警察局遭汽车炸弹袭击和费卢杰镇政府办公楼遭不明身份武装人员袭击等严重事件。
在巴格达，针对美军的袭击行动也从未停止过，当天1名美军士兵在该市遭炸弹袭击身亡。
美国人“悲剧性的一天” 何人所为尚难确定
负责伊拉克战后重建事务的最高文职行政长官布雷默在接受有线新闻网采访时表示，尚难断定运输机遭袭是何人所为，不一定是萨达姆本人在背后亲自指挥，但是布雷默强调可能是伊拉克境内外恐怖分子的联合行动，布雷默称“逊尼派三角地带”已经成为各国武装力量的“大杂烩”之地，在那里匿藏了大量未被清剿的恐怖分子，国外的恐怖分子，尤其是“基地”组织成员是通过叙利亚渗透进入伊拉克境内的。
布雷默说，“有一点很重要，那就是袭击者使用的是俄制萨姆－7肩扛式导弹”，表明恐怖分子已经在使用更加高级的武器设备进行袭击活动。
白宫发言人达菲称，运输机遇袭事件没有动摇美国在伊拉克进行的反恐战争，“恐怖分子寄希望用杀死联军和无辜平民的做法来吓退美军，但是我们的信心和决心难以撼动。” 达菲称，已将美军遇袭一事通知了在德州牧场度假的布什总统，但是他对此没有发表评论。
美国防部长拉姆斯菲尔德在此事件上表述了“鹰派”固有的强硬立场，他说今天对美国人来说是“悲剧性的一天”。在一场漫长而艰苦的战争中，美国将会碰到“悲剧性的日子”。在伊拉克的工作很困难，伤亡是“不可避免的”。
华盛顿官员怒火撒向萨达姆 抓住或杀死老萨已刻不容缓
美国参议院情报特别委员会主席、共和党人帕特里克?罗伯茨接受美国有线新闻网采访时称，虽然不能确定萨达姆是袭击美军的幕后总指挥，但是他（萨达姆）在其中扮演了一个角色，如果没有的话，为什么伊拉克人害怕他会回来呢？当前美军的首要任务是抓获萨达姆。
拉姆斯菲尔德赞同罗伯茨的看法，称萨达姆政权无恶不作，所以伊拉克人才会害怕他回来，然而，重要的是萨达姆至今还没有被抓获或者被杀死。
美参院情报特别委员会成员、民主党人约翰?洛克菲勒则表示应当彻底铲除萨达姆，无论他（萨达姆）是否在指挥幕后指挥，但是从目前情况看，他的确与美军遇袭事件有关。
CH―47“支努干"
萨姆－7肩扛式导弹
OHIO的老百姓说，民主党会搞经济，共和党擅长危机处理。
我真是要晕倒。没BUSH的傲慢和明目张胆地关照石油商军火商，哪来的伊拉克门；至于经济，有自己的规律，风向好不好，看总统的运气，那还要靠总统有无为而治的修为。象BUSH这个蠢才，上来二话不说先把前面的储蓄全部花光，欠一屁股债；连美元强势还是弱势对美国经济有利，当了四年了还不知道。
其实只要不是太蠢的人都能当美国总统，可怎么偏偏来了这么一位BD到顶的啊。
但干嘛瞪眼呀！还瞪我俩眼！！！
如此还不成就了他的一世英名。
之前宣布他已死是为瓦解伊拉克军心。
现在说他还在影响伊拉克是给自己加厚脸皮，让美国人仍相信伊拉克人只有"极少数"在反美。
谎言会穿的，美国人需要发现两件事:
1。伊拉克的石油与军费之间得不偿失。
2。伊拉克人不欢迎美国人。
不要以为美国人不爱和平，他们首先认为自己是解放军，跟中国人一样需要师出有名。这点一破政客们基本上就成了热锅上的蚂蚁。
在支持攻打伊拉克的美国人中认为攻打伊拉克附和美国利益所以正不正义都无所谓的也不在少数。
Bush Says America Will Never Run from Iraq

By Anna Willard
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Reuters) - President Bush, in his first comments since the death of 16 U.S. soldiers in the downing of a helicopter in Iraq, said on Monday America "will never run" from its mission in Iraq and will not be intimidated.
"The enemy in Iraq believes America will run. That's why they're willing to kill innocent civilians, relief workers, coalition troops. America will never run," Bush said in a speech in Alabama.
He did not directly refer to Sunday's helicopter downing, the deadliest single incident for the U.S. occupying force since Bush declared an end to major hostilities on May 1.
Sixteen soldiers were killed when insurgents shot down the giant Chinook helicopter near the flashpoint town of Falluja.
The White House has been reluctant to comment specifically on the incident, leaving it up to others such as Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. On Sunday he called it a "tragic day" for America but said there could be others like it.
At least 250 U.S. soldiers have died from hostile fire since the invasion was launched in March and the growing death toll of Americans in Iraq is a sensitive issue for the president as he seeks re-election next year.
Bush blamed "Saddam holdouts" and "foreign terrorists" for the series of attacks.
"This collection of killers is trying to shake the will of America. We will not be intimidated," Bush said in a speech at a later event to raise funds for his re-election campaign.
Polls show public confidence in Bush's handling of Iraq has waned. Asked if he was concerned that Bush is losing support because of Iraq, White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters, "I think that America recognizes that the President is providing strong leadership and taking decisive action."
WAR ON TERRORISM
We mourn every loss, we honor every name" he said, adding, "We will not rest, we will not tire until the danger to America and civilization is removed."
Bush was speaking as the Senate prepared to give final congressional approval to his request for $87.5 billion to finance reconstruction in Iraq and military operations there and in Afghanistan.
The economy, like Iraq, is expected to be a major theme of Bush's campaign for re-election in November next year.
In his speech to 350 small-business owners and employees at CraneWorks, a family-owned crane rental business with 48 employees, Bush said his tax cuts were helping turn the economy around but conceded more work was needed to create jobs.
"By reducing taxes this administration kept a promise we did the right thing at the right time for the American economy," he said.
The government said last week that U.S. economic growth soared 7.2 percent in the July-September period, the fastest pace since the first quarter of 1984, which could provide a major boost for the president in an election year.
But many Americans are struggling to find jobs. Alabama has lost 24,100 jobs in the past year with the greatest jobs losses occurring manufacturing. (Additional reporting by Randall Mikkelsen) Previous.

如果圣诞还不能让他们回家，BUSH有好看的。
