8 American Soldiers Killed in Iraq in past 24 hours

Jesus Christ.

How Bush get aways with acting like things are humming along in Iraq is just insane. There's a reason his approval rating on Iraq is tanking. The American people seem more clued in to what a disaster Bush has made in Iraq than Congress or the MSM. CNN has the latest carnage story:

Insurgent attacks during the past 24 hours have killed eight U.S. soldiers in Iraq, the military said Tuesday.

Three soldiers died in a car bombing in central Baghdad on Tuesday and a fourth -- who was manning an observation post -- was killed by a drive-by gunman, Task Force Baghdad spokesman, Maj. Darryl Wright said.

Four other American soldiers were killed by a bomb on Monday, the military said. They were assigned to the 155th Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force.

The explosive "detonated near their vehicle" in fighting in Haswa, south of Baghdad.

The deaths bring the number of U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war to 1,643, according to U.S. military reports.
Iraq is out of control. Maybe, just maybe, this will force Congress -- or the MSM -- to take a hard look at the Downing Street Memo. BTC News reports that McClellan really doesn't dispute the substance of the memo. Isn't that a story?

Maybe, just maybe, there will be some accountability. Okay, I know I'm dreaming....
