Surge
If Bush's plan for a "surge" refers to a surge of violence in Iraq, then "mission accomplished."
The latest new from Iraq: "In all, 137 people were killed or found dead across Iraq, including a teacher who was gunned down as she was on her way to work at a girls' school in a mainly Sunni area of Baghdad. The toll also included the bullet-riddled bodies of at least 30 people, apparent victims of death squads largely run by Shiite militias.
An al-Qaida-linked coalition of Iraqi Sunni insurgents claimed its fighters shot down an American military helicopter in a Saturday crash that killed 12 U.S. soldiers. The U.S. military has said the cause of the crash has not been determined.
Bush has committed an additional 21,500 troops to the effort to secure Iraq, but congressional Democrats, mindful of a rising U.S. military death toll, oppose this move.
A U.S. soldier was killed Monday by a roadside bomb in northern Iraq, raising to 28 the number of American troops killed in the past three days; the U.S. military also reported that two Marines were killed Sunday in Anbar province."
