...U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq already this month.

Which means we're on pace for the second deadliest month since the war began, eighteen months later.

Wonder how many in Congress would have supported the war if they'd known there'd be no WMD's, no al-Qaeda connection, that Iraq in fact would not be paying for its own reconstruction, and that one and a half years later, we'd still be losing somewhere between one and three U.S. troops per day?
