The deaths of five more U.S. troops as Bush claims Taliban on the run
25 Executed Gangland-Style in Mosul, The military announced the deaths of five more U.S. troops in a deadly week for American forces that included the discovery of the brutalized bodies of two kidnapped soldiers.

Iraqi and U.S. military forces clashed with heavily armed attackers throughout the morning Friday in the alleys and doorways along Haifa Street and within earshot of the Green Zone, which houses the U.S. and British embassies and Iraqi government headquarters.

Deadly clashes are not new to Haifa Street, a thoroughfare so dangerous that a sign at one Green Zone exit checkpoint warns drivers against using the street. But Friday's fighting was unusual in its scope and intensity, prompting Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to order everyone off all streets in the capital with just two hours notice and while Friday prayers were still in progress.

After 10 years and over 57,000 Dead US. troops (not counting the maimed & wounded) our leaders told us we'll leave with, "peace with honor" -- we still don't learn from past mistakes as Bush stays the course to nowhere!!
