Today's Whack-A-Mole
From Juan Cole:
On any other day, the killing of 4 US troops in Mosul, Ninevah Province, would itself be the big news. Bush withdrew 3,000 troops from Mosul and sent them to Baghdad for "Operation Forward Together," which did not operate, did not go forward, and did not create togetherness. That left US troops in Ninevah more exposed.
