US death toll in Iraq reaches 3,500

Picphoto060807iraq A roadside bomb in Baghdad killed a U.S. soldier, the military announced today, bringing the total number of U.S. deaths in Iraq over the 3,500 mark.  Unfortunately, one day earlier, the British death toll also reached a sad milestone -- 150.  And on Friday morning, 14 civilians were killed and 30 were wounded in Basra.

As U.S., Britain and innocent civilians lose lives, Iran only gains from our presence:

The U.S. military said al-Sadr took refuge in Iran during his absence. Al-Sadr's aides deny that he was outside Iraq.

"I must maintain friendly and good relations with Iran, but nothing else," al-Sadr said.

And emboldening Iran is enhancing America's security?
