CNN Report - Six members of the U.S. armed forces have died in Iraq over the past 24 hours, the coalition press office said Tuesday.

Two members of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force died of wounds received while fighting in Al Anbar province, west of Baghdad.

Late Monday, two Task Force Baghdad soldiers were killed and two others wounded in the Iraqi capital when a homemade bomb exploded.

U.S. Central Command reported Tuesday that a Marine from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit died as "a result of a nonhostile gunshot wound."

The military also said that a Task Force Baghdad soldier died Tuesday in a vehicle accident.

With the deaths, 921 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since the start of the war, including 684 under hostile circumstances.

There's lots of talk about cutting (money) taxes. How about cutting that blood tax? Any time soon?
