Bush is still in charge. We're still staying the course. The carnage and deaths continue. There's still no plan:

Four more U.S. soldiers have been killed in Iraq, the U.S. military said on Thursday, bringing to at least 10 the number killed over the past two days in gun battles and roadside bomb blasts around the country.

Two U.S. soldiers were killed and two wounded in the eastern province of Diyala north of Baghdad, home to a volatile mix of Shi'ites, Kurds and Shi'ites, when a bomb hit their vehicle during combat operations on Wednesday, the military said.

A third soldier was shot dead in an operation in the same province, the U.S. military said. It was not clear whether the incidents were linked.

Another U.S. soldier was shot dead in Baghdad on Tuesday, the military said, bringing to seven the number killed that day.

At least 44 U.S. soldiers have been killed this month, half of them in the western Anbar province, heartland of the three-year-old Sunni Muslim insurgency.
