Selected Iraq War News Photos #5

IRAQ WAR NEWS PHOTO PICTURES -- U.S. Marines race to secure a landing zone as a helicopter carrying General George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, arrives for a ceremony to restore Iraqi border security in the restive city of Kusaiba, near the Syrian Iraq border, November 30, 2005. U.S. President George W. Bush asked for patience from Americans weary of the rising U.S. death toll in Iraq on Wednesday and said a reduction in U.S. troops may be possible but rejected a pullout timetable. In a new White House push to counter critics of the war effort ahead of Iraq's Dec. 15 election, Bush said progress in training Iraqi forces would allow a diminished American role.

Iraqi soldiers display weapons and ammunition that they recovered during raids, at their base in the town of Baquba, about 80 km (50 miles) north of Baghdad November 30, 2005. The White House said on Wednesday that Iraq was likely to struggle with violence for many years, but as its forces increasingly take over security, U.S. troops can eventually withdraw.
