US-led forces have bombed eight bridges on the Euphrates River in western Iraq
to stop insurgents using them, US military spokesperson Major General Rick
Lynch said Thursday (...) Why is this a big deal? Because we are actually
destroying infrastructure in a country we occupy. We are saying that the
military value of the bridges to the insurgancy is greater than the value to
us in either a military or economic/social way (...) For the first time I
believe we have lost!
