The Green Zone has been stained red with American blood.
BBCSomehow, I do not think this is going to jive with the testimony I am sure the White House has already written for General Petraeus's appearance before congress.Three US service personnel have been killed and 31 wounded by rocket attacks on the Green Zone and a base elsewhere in Baghdad, the US military has said.
The rocket attack at 1530 (1230 GMT) on the Green Zone, which houses government offices and foreign embassies, killed two personnel and wounded at least 17.
A separate attack at the same time on a forward operating base in the Rustamiya district killed another and injured 14.
The attacks came after fierce fighting between US forces and Shia militiamen.
