Toll in Iraq's Deadly Surge: 1,300

Grisly attacks and other sectarian violence unleashed by last week's bombing of a Shiite Muslim shrine have killed more than 1,300 Iraqis, making the past few days the deadliest of the war outside of major U.S. offensives, according to Baghdad's main morgue. The toll was more than three times higher than the figure previously reported by the U.S. military and the news media.

If violence continues to get worse in Iraq then we will be sold on the idea that we need to stay and secure it. Hey, maybe we will get an all out civil war. How would our government/military contractors feel about that? Cha-Ching...$$$
