BAGHDAD, Iraq — A
bomb hidden in a truck loaded
with dates exploded Saturday
evening in the center of a
Shiite fanning village north-
east of Baghdad, killing 26
people and injuring at least 34.
Three American soldiers died
in separate bombings in
Baghdad and northern Iraq.
In the west of the country,
U.S. Marines said they killed
10 extremists Saturday in vil-
lages near the Syrian border,
. where Air Force jets blasted a
suspected militant safe house
the day before. U.S. officials ’
said an al-Qaida official from
Saudi Arabia may have been
killed in the airstrike.
The surge in violence
occurred as Iraqi political
blocs unveiled their lists of
candidates for Dec. 15 parlia-
mentary elections, which the
United States and its coalition
partners hope will help restore
enough stability that they can
begin sending home their
forces next year.
The bomb in the Shiite vil-
lage of Huweder, about 45
miles northeast of Baghdad,
exploded as villagers were
heading to the mosque for
prayers or outdoors in the cool
evening breeze to break day-
long fast they observe during
the holy month of Ramadan.
Two American soldiers were
killed Saturday when a road-
side bomb exploded near their
vehicle in southern Baghdad,
the U.S. command said. The
• third soldier died in a roadside
bombing earner Saturday near
Beiji, 155 miles north of the
capital, the military said. Four
soldiers were wounded in the
Beiji blast.
Their deaths raised to at least
eight the number of U.S. ser-
vice members killed in Iraq
since Thursday. At least 2,015
U.S. troops have died since the
Iraq war started in March 2003.
In his weekly radio address.
President Bush said the war in
Iraq has required “great sacri-
fice,” but that progress is
being made and the United
States must remain steadfast.
“The best way to honor the
sacrifice of our fallen troops is
to complete the mission and
win the war on terror,” the
president said. “We will train
Iraqi security forces and help a
newly elected government
meet the needs of the Iraqi
people. In doing so, we will lay
the foundation of peace for our
children and grandchildren.”
Public support for Bush's
handling of Iraq is at its lowest
point, 37 percent, roughly
where it has been since early
August, according to AP-Ipsos
polling.

How does George W. Bush find
the path to recovery after a week of
bad news staggered his presidency?
The week that was: conservatives
in the president's own party hounded
him into withdrawing Harriet Miers’
Supreme Court nomination; the U.S. ,
death toll in Iraq surpassed 2,000;
and Vice President Dick Cheney’s
chief of staff was indicted by a fed-
eral grand jury.
The aide, I. Lewis “Scooter”
Libby, is accused of lying about his
role in blowing the CIA cover of an
Iraq war critic’s wife. The charges
grew out of an investigation that was
the product of the fierce debate two
years ago over Bush’s contention
that Iraq possessed weapons of mass
destruction.
Cheney and Libby were two of the
administration’s leading lobbyists
for the U.S.-led invasion, and the
indictment could remind Americans
increasingly unhappy with the war
that the president’s primary justifi-
Libby trial could see the famously
secretive vice president called as a
witness and asked to answer embar-
rassing questions.
Though top presidential adviser
Karl Rove was spared for now. the
future of one of Bush’s most power-
ful advisers also remained in jeop-
ardy.

not involved in the leak.
Bush and his aides considered the
political benefits of such statements,
according to a senior administration
official, who spoke confidentially so
as to not be seen discussing internal
deliberations. But the idea was
rejected out of concern the presi-
dent’s words could influence the
legal process. Bush instead merely
called the charges “serious” and
urged against a rush to judgment.
He and Cheney both praised Libby
for his public service.
Democrats, though, indicated they
will not let people forget that Bush
campaigned in 2000 on a promise to
“restore honor and dignity” to a
White House sullied by Clinton-era
scandals.
“President Bush faces a serious
test of leadership,” said Howard
Dean, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee..“Will he keep
his pledge to hold his administration ‘
to high ethical standards and give
the American people what they
deserve, and will he answer to the
American people for these serious
missteps?”
At the White House, the short-
term strategy is little changed by the
recent events.
Bush will focus for the remainder
of the year on pushing Congress to
fund Katrina recovery while reigning
in nonmilitary spending, renewing
the Patriot Act, and making prepara-
tions for a possible bird flu or other
