The conventional wisdom is that Bush is going to keep U.S. troops in Iraq surrounded by barbed wire and armor until after the election to minimize troop deaths. Then right after the election, we will see the body count go way up.
The bombings in the Green Zone show some vulnerability to this strategy of keeping the troops hunkered down in a self defense "force protection mode".
