Nine U-S soldiers, two more Marines killed in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq There's word this morning of eleven more American deaths in Iraq.
The U-S command reports the toll includes nine Army soldiers and two Marines.

Four soldiers were killed in separate small-arms-fire attacks yesterday in Baghdad. Four more died when a roadside bomb blew up as their patrol passed by northwest of the city. The ninth soldier was killed Sunday when his vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.

The military today also reports that two more Marines have been killed, both in fighting in western Iraq's particularly dangerous Anbar province. One was killed Sunday. The other died the day before. They were among five U-S Marines killed over the weekend: four in combat, one in a vehicle accident.

10. American Narcissism and Iraq

But "quagmire" serves as a kind of mental framework for where most U.S. media coverage has remained.

Forget the American Century. This is the American Narcissism.

You see, no matter what happens in Iraq, it's mostly about us -- spelled U.S.; the United States. We're encouraged to perceive that Iraq is most important, at least implicitly, because of what it means for the USA: its image in other countries, the deaths and wounds of its soldiers, the political strength of the president and, this fall, the likely effects on the midterm congressional elections.

During September, as the Nexis media database attests, the USA's sizeable newspapers and wire services ran articles referring to Iraq as a "quagmire" several times a day. Readers of the New York Times have seen such references on an average of once a week this year. Overall, major U.S. media outlets have associated Iraq with the term "quagmire" thousands of times in 2006.
