IRAQ
U.S. casualties will rise in next 90 days, commander says
By Leila Fadel
McClatchy Newspapers
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military announced the deaths of 11 U.S. soldiers killed in combat along with an embedded journalist Sunday, and Iraqi officials said 163 civilians were killed or injured across the country.
But still more carnage is likely over the next three months as additional U.S. forces arrive in Baghdad under President Bush's troop "surge" because "we're taking the fight to the enemy," a top U.S. military commander warned.....

Between us, my wife and I have three sons, and the oldest is back from Afghanistan, just 5 weeks, now. He'll be ordered to go back there, probably in October.
Maybe we have a different perspective, because this experience is in our family. Iraq occupation is not worth one more US casualty. It is not a time for anyone in the house or the senate, who voted for the bill that Bush vetoed, to vote for anything less, as far as a timetable for withdrawal.
I favor small supplemental appropriations....force Bush to budget for the sixth year of this occupation, and seventh full year of war in Afghanistan. The emergency here is 16 month deployments for already over extended troops.
The politics are that it is Bush who is destroying his party's chances for gains in the 2008 elections, not the democrats....and there is no public "sign" that his faithful, "get it", yet:
This, to me is sobering....lemmings in lockstep with their failed president:
