BAGHDAD (Map, News) - Clashes in Baghdad between U.S. soldiers and Shiite extremists left 19 militants dead, and one American soldier died of non-combat injuries, the military said Saturday.

The U.S. soldier, who was assigned to the Multi National Division - Center, died of non-combat related injuries Friday, the military said. The death raised the number of U.S. military fatalities in Iraq to at least 4,074 since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

Iraqi health authorities said Saturday that 13 people were killed and 77 others wounded - including women and children - in clashes in the Shiite militia stronghold of Sadr City district since Friday. It was not clear whether any militants were among them. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Some residents in Sadr City huddled around half a dozen torched cars on Saturday morning, AP Television News footage showed. Two men held a blood-covered sheet and pillow outside a house, the footage showed.

During clashes on Friday, Shiite militants also launched rockets toward the fortified Green Zone, taking advantage of a sandstorm that gave cover from attacks by U.S. aircraft. Some rockets fell short, including one that damaged the British Broadcasting Corp. bureau.

U.S. authorities did not confirm any strikes inside the Green Zone, which includes the U.S. Embassy and much of the Iraqi government.

The rocket salvos from Sadr City came in response to a U.S.-led push into Sadr City, the Baghdad stronghold of the powerful Mahdi Army led by anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. One of the American objectives is to push militants deeper into the district and put their rockets and mortars out of range for the Green Zone.

But that also has increased the chances of the shells falling short into civilian areas. One rocket hit the roof of the BBC bureau, damaging equipment but causing no injuries.

U.S. authorities plan to complete a barrier up to 12 feet tall in parts of Sadr City. It seeks to cut off militia movement and enable the military to exert more control over the most restive section of the district - a vast slum of about 2.5 million people.

Eleven militants attacked U.S. forces, building the barrier in Sadr City on Friday, but all were killed in the ensuing clash, the military said. militants were also killed Friday in other Shiite-neighborhoods, including New Baghdad, it said.

Dozens of men held a framed picture of al-Sadr as they marched to the cemetery for a funeral in Sadr City on Saturday, chanting "there is no God, but Allah," the television footage showed.

I am a proud Patriot Guard Rider who braved the cold to ride our scoot from Westminster, MD, to "House of the" Rising Sun, MD, to escort the THREE busloads of troops back to Towson, with a State police escort, where they were honorably DISMISSED! Lots of tears and joy and kidz and families and friends to greet our brave troops! Pizza, soft drinks, snacks & cookies were shared by ALL. You libs don't even have a CLUE of a clue, so go blog your garbage somewhere else. It's because of our troops that this war is, once again, NOT on our soil, like 9/11, which started it in the long run. It's being fought in the dirty cat box in the middle east, where it belongs. Don't you GET it yet? The fanatic Muslims HATE us and all westerners because we are INFIDELS to them! I've read the Koran; I believe in "know thy enemy and keep him close."

My family has supported the troops and the war and has a soldier and cousins there now, however, it is time to bring all of the troops home. Here are some reasons: 1. Want troops home to join and reacquaint themselves with their families. 2. Too much money is being wasted that should be spent for better security, housing, medical, schools, etc. in the United States. 3. Too many gang-bangers are taking advantage of our troops not being home and they are threatening, robbing, and killing innocent people in the United States. 4. Too many gang-bangers are turning into Al Qaeda within the United States.

I suspect the war in Iraq will end much like in Viet Nam, disastrously. However, much like Viet Nam, after the country endures the predictable mayhem, I'm guessing it will eventually find its feet and become an enterprising nation. What confuses me is why does a fiercely "individualistic" nation like the U.S. continue to invade countries with "clan/tribal" cultures and believe an overlay of Western "democracy" will suddenly flourish. As far as I can tell, these cultures and concepts are at odds from their inception.

Despite complaints here about the press, the press has in fact been very loyal the Bush Admin.: it limits coverage to the war: for, against, or indifferent, but it limits coverage. Nothing about the 70% unemployed, before March 2003 & after; nothing about the massive welfare state that was Iraq, before March 2003 & after. Nothing about U.S. forces breaking up strikes & demonstrations. & Who's now subsidizing this welfare state & 70% unemployed? That house o'cards al-Maliki govt.?

Unfortunately, we will never win another war since the Fourth Estate now demands that the public has a right to know whatever is being planned and, for the ignorant people, that means the enemy in advance knows what is going to occur. For the educated patriotic Americans who lived before and during those World War II years this current open policy of the 4th Estate liberals is an insult to our intelligence and is a danger to my country. Frankly, the Fourth Estate in its stupidity is working for the enemy. In other words, people, you don't let the enemy know what you are planning. It is as simple as that.
