So the increase in roadside bombings and ambushes is a result of the heat?
There's more of this because the heat is making anti-American elements cranky? Help me out here.
Every day I hear or read about several more American soldiers or Marines shot or blown up in Iraq. One supposes this violence to be the cause of increased deaths, rather than people dying of heat and thirst out on the desert as if they were in an old John Ford western.
