WTF Is It Now?!?

Trouble mounts for Bush as lethal Iraqi resistance claims more lives
From the UK Independant: Just how organised is the resistance, and who is doing the organising, is not clear. But yesterday's grenade attack which killed three US troops outside a children's hospital north of Baghdad and injured four others has banished the hope that the death of Saddam Hussein's two sons would halt the de facto guerrilla war against the American forces occupying Iraq.

Even more ominously for pResident Bush, it can only deliver another blow to the morale of soldiers deployed in an inhospitable and scorching hot country, and alarm a public opinion growing steadily more disenchanted with an operation whose costs are soaring and of which no end is in sight.

Since Uday and Qusay Hussein were killed in Mosul on Tuesday, the ambushes have, if anything, become deadlier.

Five US soldiers die in 24 hours: the NY Times. The attack is a blow to hopes that the slaying of Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay, would weaken the resolve of Iraqi insurgents.

This has been one of the deadliest weeks for American troops since liar/war deserter/golfcart cowboy Napoleon Bonehead declared major combat operations over on May 1. Of the 104 Americans who have died in Iraq since then, 14 have been killed in the last seven days.
