11 Troops Die Today
11 U.S. troops were killed today. Another 10 were wounded. Are we losing the war? Yes, says Patrick Cockburn, writing in Sunday's Independent.
A year on from 'Mission Accomplished', an Army in Disgrace, a Policy in Tatters and the Real Prospect of Defeat. Against the odds, America has earned the hatred of ordinary Iraqis. In Baghdad Patrick Cockburn sees the battle for hearts and minds comprehensively lost.
The tide is going out for the US in Iraq. They were not able to use their military strength against Fallujah and Najaf. They have very little political support outside Kurdistan. They can no longer win. It may be one of the most extraordinary defeats in history.
Reuters reports the Arab world believes the liberators are worse than the dictators. Check out the pictures.
