Iraq

(AP) Another brigade arrives in Iraq for "the surge." By my count, this means that 80% of the surge troops (4 of 5 brigades) are now in Baghdad.

(CSM) Reenlistment rates among mid-level enlisted soldiers are falling for the first time to roughly 84%.

(USAToday) State Department diplomats are coming back from Iraq with PTSD symptoms.

(AP) The Al Qaeda umbrella group, the Islamic State of Iraq, issued a statement saying that Al Qaeda in Iraq leader al Masri is "alive and still fighting the enemy of God."

(And, on the rare bright side, there are no major violent attacks in the news this morning.)
