WASHINGTON - A burst of violence against Americans in Iraq (news - web sites) on Wednesday made March the second-deadliest month for U.S. troops since President Bush (news - web sites) declared an end to major combat last May. snip

At least 48 U.S. troops died in Iraq during March, up from 21 in February and 46 in January. Nineteen were killed by roadside bombs, or improvised explosive devices, according to military records. The list of dead does not include two Department of the Army civilians killed in Hilla on March 9 or the four civilian contractors, because the Pentagon counts only military deaths.


November was the deadliest month of the war for U.S. forces, with 82 dead.

2. Bush said this just means we're winning

because the other side is getting desperate and killing more of our people.

It's the latest theory of warfare.
