BAGHDAD The U.S. military reports today that eight American troops, seven soldiers and a Marine, have been killed in bombings, an ambush and shootings in Iraq.
Americans have opened nearly 1,000 new graves to bury U.S. troops killed in Iraq since Memorial Day a year ago. The figure is telling—and expected to rise in coming months.
In the period from Memorial Day 2006 through Saturday, 980 soldiers and Marines died in Iraq, compared to 807 deaths in the previous year. And with the Baghdad security operation now 3 1/2 months old, even President Bush has predicted a difficult summer for U.S. forces.
"It could be a bloody—it could be a very difficult August," he said last week.
