The report, which covers the
period from early August to early November describes a worsening
security environment in Baghdad and other parts of Iraq.
The
rise in attacks, to a weekly average of 959, was a jump of nearly 200
compared with the previous three months. As a consequence, civilian
casualties reached a record high, more than 90 a day, the report said.
While the majority of attacks were directed at U.S. forces, most of the
casualties were suffered by the Iraqi military and civilians.
That last was a compound sentence, and the "while" messed up the impact. So let's try that again.

This
is why we gotta get out now. All this bananarama about staying to
provide stability is just that: bananarama. If we were interested in
providing stability we would have provided it a long time ago. But
we're not. We're only interested in staying. And this level of violence
-- which we have deliberately created -- offers a perfect pretext.
We have never been interested in winning,
nor in having a short war. We've only been interested in getting
entangled in something so awful that we have no choice but to to stay
there and make sure it doesn't get any worse.
This is what the chimperor meant when he said: "Mission Accomplished!"
If you believe we can keep it from getting worse without leaving, I have a bridge to sell you.
If we can keep it from getting worse at all, the only way we can do so is by leaving. And the sooner the better.
Chaos?
Civil war? Bloodshed? We’ll take our chances -- just take your Puppets,
your tanks, your smart weapons, your dumb politicians, your lies, your
empty promises, your rapists, your sadistic torturers and go.
