Deadliest month for U.S. in Iraq in two years 58 minutes ago BAGHDAD (Reuters) - December became the deadliest month for U.S. troops in Iraq in two years after the U.S. military reported six more combat deaths, leaving the tally just two short of the emotive 3,000 mark. ADVERTISEMENT Three U.S. marines died on Thursday from wounds suffered in combat in Iraq's western Anbar province. One soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in northwest Baghdad and another soldier was killed in Anbar on Friday, the military said on Saturday. Another statement announced the death of a U.S. soldier killed by a roadside bomb in southwest Baghdad on Friday. The latest deaths take the number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq since the invasion of March 2003 to 2,998, according to icasualties.org, a Web site that tracks U.S. deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. The number who died in December is now 109, three more than the previous high this year in October, and the highest since November 2004 when 137 U.S. servicemen and women died. Mounting U.S. casualties are raising pressure on President Bush to set a timetable for the withdrawal of troops from the increasingly unpopular war.
