Add 5 More to the Dead List

From The Times:

At least five American soldiers died in Iraq during a 24-hour period that began Sunday, two of them fighting insurgents in the holy city of Kufa during the unraveling of a cease-fire agreement with a rebel Shiite cleric, military officials said Monday.

Add that to the four killed in Afghanistan and note the use of the phrase "at least".

But at least Mr. Bush got his nice, safe photo op at Arlington National Cemetery and really, that's all that counts. Right?
