More 'progress' in Iraq

Despite the fact that the troop "escalation" is already underway, and a supposed "security crackdown" began in Iraq about two weeks ago, 10 people were killed in southern Baghdad by two separate car bombs. Meanwhile, Iraqi police found 20 bodies in Baghdad yesterday.

The first car bomb exploded near a fuel station in the district of Saidiya, killing five people and wounding 11 more, police said. Another police source, however, said three were killed and 12 wounded in that attack.

Another car bomb exploded in Doura, in the south of Baghdad, killing five people and wounding 20 at a vegetable market.

A third car bomb plot was "foiled" according to Reuters.

My, my, it certainly does sound like "progress" is being made to me.
