Another violent day in Iraq, 31 dead

Baghdad experienced it's deadliest single attack since 2003 the other day, and unfortunately, today wasn't much better.

In the capitol city of Baghdad today, 31 people were killed in bomb & mortar attacks.

Via the Associated Press:

The violence was a sign of the difficulty facing the push that eventually will be able to call upon on as many as 90,000 American and Iraqi troops and police in a third attempt to calm the capital in nine months. The command center, staffed by Iraqis and Americans, opened Monday inside the U.S.-controlled Green Zone next to the prime minister's office.

"It's going to be much more than this city has ever seen and it's going to be a rolling surge," Col. Douglass Heckman, the senior adviser to the 9th Iraqi Army Division, said Sunday.

UPDATE: The number dead was just adjusted to 38. I guess that's what Bush means by "progress."
