An AP story today: November Off to Bloody Start in Iraq Nov 3, 2:08 AM (ET) By STEVEN R. HURST BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A blood-drenched October has passed into a violent early November as a motorcycle rigged with explosives ripped through a crowded Shiite market in Sadr City on Thursday and suspected Sunni insurgent gunmen killed a Shiite dean of Baghdad University. On Friday, the U.S. military announced the deaths of three soldiers in Baghdad and a Marine in the western province of Anbar. A brief statement said the three soldiers died Thursday when the vehicle they were riding in was struck by a roadside bomb at 2:15 p.m. in eastern Baghdad. It gave no other details. Meanwhile, the attacks showed no signs of abating after at least 1,272 Iraqis were killed in the first full month of autumn and the 43rd month of the U.S. bid to quell violence and build democracy in Iraq, according to an Associated Press count. The figure is a minimum since many deaths go unreported, but the total is higher than any other month since the AP began keeping track in May 2005. [emphasis mine] The full article: apnews.excite.com My comments: After 43 months, this is what's going on in Iraq now. George Bush keeps telling us that we are winning this war. My question to this thread is, how does he figure that this is winning? Is there some kind of information he has disseminated somewhere that I'm not aware of that could put this kind of situation in a different light? To me, it doesn't look like things are really improving. I'm completely sincere in asking this. What do you guys think about this war? Do you think we're "winning"? If so, how do you conclude that? - Allen
