"US troops death in Iraq hits 2-year high", over 4 years, and no closer to "democracy".
The "surge" seems to be in fatalities, not in buying time for the "fledgling democracy".
Tragic.
"A series of fatalities announced on Tuesday in Iraq saw the US military’s death toll rise to its highest monthly level in more than two years.
"The US army reported that eight troops died in roadside bombings and a helicopter crash, bringing total fatalities so far for May to 112, a level not seen since the insurgency took hold in November 2004. The spike in violence follows another bloody month in April, when 104 US troops were killed."
I would hope even the toadiest and most lickspittle True Believer would find it impossible to defend this nonsense.
