"It has become something of a challenge to stay abreast of the continuing carnage in Iraq," writes William Rivers Pitt. "We still have tens of thousands of soldiers there. Nineteen of them have died since the beginning of July, and 2,553 have died since the whole thing started. 150 Iraqi civilians have been killed in the last three days, adding to the 6,000 civilians who have been killed in the last two months, adding to the tens of thousands who have been killed over the last three years."
So 'Cutting and Running' Is Weak{?}, NOT! This Should NEVER Have Happened!!!
Cutting and Running
Joe Galloway | July 13, 2006
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was in Iraq this week, and he heard some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that the number of American soldiers who've been killed in Iraq in recent weeks has fallen from two or three a day to an average of only one a day.
The bad news is that the reason for the good news is that Iraqis are, for the time being, more interested in killing one another than they are in killing Americans.
And the real news in Iraq is that the number of American troops who are fighting and dying in that place has fallen to 127,000 from a high of more than 160,000 late in 2005.
Despite Bush administration's "stay the course" rhetoric and Rumsfeld's refusal to discuss any withdrawal timetable on his trip, the truth is that the administration is rushing to disentangle itself from Iraq as fast as possible.

Terri Jones lost her son Jason Cooper just over a year ago.
He was an Army Reservist in the Iraq War.
On July 14, 2005, four months after returning home to Iowa, he hanged himself.
He was 23.
Since then, Jones has been flying her American flag upside down, though someone came on her property once and turned it right side up, and another person stole it.
