Iraq Catastrophe's latest : 6 marines dead today

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050624/...NlYwMlJVRPUCUl

Popular anger in the U.S. is mounting along with the rise in troop casualties. A Gallup poll conducted June 6-8 revealed that 6 out of 10 of those asked wanted a partial or full withdrawal of GIs from Iraq. Only 41 percent approved of the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq War. A majority said they'd be upset if the president tried to send more troops. Rage is rising among Iraqis facing an official employment rate of 28 percent and infrastructure is destroyed. Basic services like electricity, water and sewers still aren't up to prewar levels. Electricity is especially vital in a country where summer temperatures commonly reach 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Yet only 8 percent of Iraqis have reliable electrical services. In the capital, where it counts most, it's only 2 percent. The country is a disaster and is in a state of de facto civil war.
