Tide of blood subsides in Iraq

"(CNN)-- A year after President Bush announced he was ordering nearly 30,000 additional American troops into Iraq, that "surge" has at least temporarily staunched the blood-soaked tide of violence loosed on the country in the previous months."

Hey great!! Neato! Progress Progress Progress!!!!! I mean if there's one thing we know about the Surge, it's that it has been a non-stop progress machine. I want to make up a song right now about how progressy the Surge has been.

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN)-- Six U.S. soldiers were killed Wednesday in Iraq when a bomb exploded in a booby-trapped house while they were on patrol north of Baghdad, the military announced.

Four soldiers were also wounded in the attack and evacuated to a coalition forces hospital, Multi-National Corps-Iraq said.

The troops were taking part in Operation Iron Harvest -- a new drive against Islamic militants in northern Iraq after a spate of attacks on local anti-insurgent groups."
