Iraq: Deadlier Than Ever

Ferocious fighting continues in many areas of Iraq with at least another 12 U.S. marines killed along with at least 66 Iraqis as the Shi'ites vow to resist the coalition occupation.

The Times of India is reporting that Najaf has been taken over by Muktada al-Sadr's militia.

For the latest news concerning Iraq see Google's aggregator and better yet The UK's fabulous News Now.

Variously, you'll find pieces questioning whether Iraqi violence could "derail" Bush's election bid to Rumsfeld recanting his statement of less than 24 hours old. He now states that he will offer more U.S. troops if requested.

That's all, gotta run.
