As things continue to go remarkably well in Iraq, the top US military spokesman there acknowledged Thursday that a much-touted security crackdown by American and Iraqi forces had failed to reduce violence in the capital and called the results "disheartening."
New attacks by dead-enders in tense Iraqi town of Balad kill 9. As the insurgency dribbles off into its last throes, Shiite militia run by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr seizes total control of Iraq city of Amarah. As we adapt to win, we've lost the battle for Baghdad, US admits. Continuing to win hearts and minds, three more US troops have been killed, bring the total for October up to 74. Making progress, the "US has weeks, not months, to avert civil war." As we constantly adjust tactics, Iraq's violence heads toward two-year high."Bush admits Iraq is like Vietnam, except that Bush had a plan for getting out of Vietnam." - BuzzFlash contributor.
