The Killer Awoke Before Dawn

With one major ambush on Monday killing 7 US troops and another soldier killed today, the American death toll in Iraq reached 992.

Remember, this in a country where aWol says everything is under control. Where democracy is growing. Where many, many schools have been painted. Where US soldiers have been unable to patrol large swaths of the country since April. Where "major combat operations" ended.

You remember this, right?
