More Airstrikes, Troop Deployments in Iraq.
This was predicted by Seymour Hersh months ago. (Knight Ridder)
But the problem is, it leads to this,
Eleven dead, women and children, to capture one insurgent. And if you think the locals are lying, as is often the allegation, here's an AP photo of some of the dead children. They look three or four years old. (WARNING GRAPHIC)
Rumsfeld said that there may be a slight US troop increase in Iraq around the upcoming Shiite pilgrimmage.
The same article also points out that Gen. Pace refused to confirm Rumsfeld's half assed allegations that the government of Iran is shipping personnel or explosives into Iraq.
And the Iraqis claim to have disrupted some major actions by Al Qaeda in Iraq that were so out there even Rumsfeld wouldn't support them. (of course he wants Iran to be the villian right now, not Al Qaeda.)

The numbers also show that U.S. forces dropped bombs on more cities during the last five months than they did during the same period a year ago.
But the problem is, it leads to this,
ISAHAQI, Iraq - Eleven people — most of them women and children — were killed when U.S. forces bombed a house during a raid north of Baghdad early Wednesday, police and relatives said....
The U.S. military acknowledged the raid and said it captured one insurgent.

Lastly,
MOBILE, Ala. -- Hurricane victims and war veterans set out Tuesday on a march to New Orleans to protest the war in Iraq and what they view as a lack of relief aid for storm victims.
