US Casualties Mount in Heavy Fighting in Iraq.

This looks like it's going to continue to get much worse before it gets better. Thirty Americans have died since Monday along with more than 130 Iraqis. It's only Wednesday, and this violence is escalating. I can't wait until June 30 though, because then things will magically change and everyone can do the democracy dance of joy.

Notice I haven't yet called the situation in Iraq analogous to Vietnam. I'm being careful, because apparently saying such a thing is now considered outrageous. Never mind the fact that the Bush Administration's "plan" for Iraq continues to be a complete travesty. I guess the real problem is there are Congressmen, Senators and citizens not marching in lockstep and being lapdogs for them.
