New AP Story: Troops to stay in Iraq until 2010 (bb10 - 10/11/2006 1:34:07 PM)
That's the headline of an AP story issued on Wednesday afternoon. Here's how the news piece begins:
The U.S. Army has plans to keep the current level of soldiers in Iraq through 2010, the top Army officer said Wednesday, a later date than Bush administration or Pentagon officials have mentioned thus far.
The full story is here.
It looks like there will be thousands more deaths of civilians and soldiers in the coming years.

...that is around the same amount as died in the entire US Civil War. It far exceeds combat death any any of our other wars.
Best Analysis on Iraq (Newport News Dem - 10/11/2006 1:02:00 PM)
For those who may not be aware, the best analysis of what is happening in Iraq comes from Professor Juan Cole of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!!). www.juancole.com
He wrote a great piece about this report and offers some insights as to why these numbers may be correct.
And for the bustanistas and allenettes who will dismiss this study, the reality is far and above the 30,000 bush has acknowledged.
Post has fine piece on Webb-Allen race being marquee (GeorgeAllenVa - 10/11/2006 10:49:22 PM)
national race on the Iraq war in Thursday's editions. Even though it's buried on page B5 (just like the AP Allen financial scandal story was Tuesday, sigh), this is the kind of story that should get wide pickup nationally--and will help a great deal with fund raising.
And lest we forget, this is from the article:
Webb spoke out against the war six months before it started. Webb wrote an editorial in The Washington Post in which he warned that U.S. troops in Iraq "would quickly become 50,000 terrorist targets."
"If voters send Webb to the Senate, especially if the Democrats have a majority in the Senate, they may be forming a national spokesperson for the party on Iraq," said Brown of the Carnegie endowment.
