Iraq gets still worse
(NYTimes) 53 US soldiers dead just halfway through October.
(WaPo) "The death toll in two days of bloody fighting between two Shiite and Sunni towns in the north rose to at least 80 on Sunday, a hospital official said, with more bodies allegedly lying in the streets and unable to be retrieved."
(The redeployment into Baghdad was intended to cut alot of the fuel to the sectarian violence. It hasn't. And now the violence has expanded rapidly into the mixed cities of the north.)
(AP) To top it off, Maliki has suspended the reconciliation conference INDEFINITELY.
(AP) Is it any wonder that more Republican Senators are openly calling for a course change? Hagel and Warner just this morning.
And the truly fightening this is that there is no event or action evident on the horizon to change the current trajectory.
