Seven more soldiers are dead in Iraq:
A spate of bombings and shootings over the weekend killed seven U.S. soldiers and wounded eight others in Baghdad and surrounding areas, the U.S. military said Sunday."The intractable insurgency shows no signs of abating" -- ever. Most Americans want this war to end. They've had it with Bush and his endless war. Yet, Bush thinks we'll stay in Iraq for fifty more years.
The soldiers deaths' come on the heels of what was the third-deadliest month for American troops in Iraq since the 2003 invasion, and indicate that the intractable insurgency shows no sign of abating in June.
The killings ran the gamut from suicide bombers, small arms attacks, and roadside bombs against foot and armored-vehicle patrols, and were scattered in and around Baghdad, and in Diyala and Nineveh provinces north of the capital.
Bush still seems clueless and delusional about what's happening in Iraq. Yesterday, we learned that the death toll for Iraqis was climbing. More U.S. deaths. More Iraqi deaths. So why exactly do most Republicans in Congress think Bush still deserves a blank check for this war? Their recklessness knows no bounds.
