Associated press reports "November Off to Bloody Start in Iraq"

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A blood-drenched October has passed into a violent early November as a motorcycle rigged with explosives ripped through a crowded Shiite market in Sadr City on Thursday and suspected Sunni insurgent gunmen killed a Shiite dean of Baghdad University.

Who'd of thought, that there'd be violence in a war zone.

Also Friday, U.S. troops killed 13 suspected insurgents in a raid south of Baghdad, the military said.

Troops were acting on intelligence reports saying a suspect with links to al-Qaida in Iraq was in the building in Muqdadiyah, 60 miles north of Baghdad, the military said.

But of course, there are no al-Qaeda in Iraq, there were al-Qaida.
This violence is not reason to bring the troops home, but rather to step up our commitment and bring an end to the violence, by rooting out every last one of these "insurgents".
