U.S. troop deaths rising
In a troubling trend of increasing violence against U.S. troops this autumn, 11 service members have died in the first two days of November, all but one killed in combat.

Of those, three were Marines killed Thursday in combat in Anbar province.

Those 11 bring the number of American fatalities in the war to 2,822. Seven contractors working for the Defense Department also have been killed.

Six of those killed in the past two days were Marines based in Anbar province and five were soldiers in the Baghdad area.

November's deaths come on the heels of a high level of violence in October, when 105 U.S. troops died, the fourth-highest monthly total of the war

In another all-too-common grisly occurrence, 56 bullet-riddled bodies were found Friday in Baghdad by Iraq police in the previous 24 hours, a Baghdad emergency police official said Friday. *** Some of the bodies showed signs of torture, the official said. Iraqi police were unable to identify the bodies.

this is the reason that we must elect Jim --
the carnage has to stop.....we cannot in good conscience
endorse an incumbent who supports this bloodletting and doesn't challenge the instigators of the fiasco and bring them to account.
