Today the New York Times reports that a new Pentagon report shows that attacks against our troops and attacks of Iraqi-on-Iraqi is far worse then ever. The article by Michael R. Gordon and Thom Shanker is sighting Pentagon reports that show Americans killed has increased from 287 in January to 518 in July. In July alone, 2,625 roadside bombs were discovered and 1,666 of then exploded before they could be disarmed. The August 3rd report says," THE INSURGENCY HAS GOTTEN WORSE BY ALMOST ALL MEASURES" It went on to say, " The insurgency has more public support and is demonstrably more capable in numbers of people active and in its ability to direct violence then at any point in time"
Thus after the new government was selected, new government leaders put into place, after over 200,000 Iraqi troops and police trained by the U.S. and with 130,000 American troops in Iraq, the violence is getting significantly worse.
When will Bush see that the time has come to admit failure and allow the people of Iraq to settle their internal disputes? We can not and are not moving toward ending the violence and the longer we stay in Iraq the more American deaths and treasure will be wasted on this tragic mistake of George W. Bush!
