Baghdad Blasts Mock US Claims of Iraqi Progress
Gunmen seized 10 workers from a bakery Sunday in a predominantly Shiite neighborhood in Baghdad, while a car bomb exploded near a university in the northern city of Mosul, killing a woman and wounding 19 other people, police said. The scattered attacks came after a day of unrelenting violence that killed more than two dozen people as insurgents foiled heightened security measures. The renewed violence comes at a time when President Bush was seeking to take advantage of the death of Zarqawi to convince a skeptical American public that the situation in Iraq was starting to improve.

"Rather than engage in a serious debate about America's future course in Iraq, President Bush and the Republican Congress have again opted for sound bites and partisanship," writes the New York Times. "Yet all the choreographed posturing and a one-week flurry of good news cannot blot out the larger picture of dubious trends and dismal prospects. Not only is the glass less than half full. The water level, viewed over months rather than days, is not noticeably rising."
