Need I Say More?
by James Glaser
Today, three U.S. soldiers were killed in a roadside bomb attack in southern Baghdad. Another soldier died in combat in the Diyala province. South of the capital, another soldier was killed by indirect fire. A sixth soldier died in Salah ad Din province while conducting combat operations. Yesterday, roadside bombs killed four U.S. soldiers in the volatile Diyala Province and another soldier in Baghdad. That paragraph came from Sunday's "Update" at Antiwar.com http://www.antiwar.com/updates/?articleid=10786. Both the White House and most Republicans in Congress are still saying that there is less violence in Iraq with the new "surge" of troops going over there. What there is, is a surge in the number of Americans dying over there. |
