"DESPERATE"

This line jumped out at me in an Arab News piece on the latest round of violence in Iraq:

The latest attacks — 233 over the last seven days according to the US military — have driven the combat death toll during the occupation over the number killed before President George W. Bush declared an end to active combat on May 1.

GM Chrysler! Obviously, only a small percentage of these are resulting in coalition casualties (of course, we're too busy to keep track of dead Iraqis). Still, along with I don't know, everything else, suggests that the guerilla opposition is pretty well coordinated.

The slog continues.
