Baghdad has not met expectations Three American deaths bring October total to 74, on pace to be the deadliest for U.S. forces in nearly two years BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. military acknowl- edged yesterday that its two-month drive to crush insurgent and militia violence in the Iraqi capital had fallen short, calling the raging bloodshed dishearten- ing and saying it was rethinking its strategy to rein in gunmen, torturers and bombers. The admission by military spokesman Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell came as car bombs, mortar fire and shootings around the country killed at least 66 people and wounded 175. The dead included the Anbar province police commander, slain by gunmen who burst into his home in Ramadi. The U.S. military also announced the deaths of three U.S. troops in fighting, raising the toll for American troops in October to 74. The month is on course to be the deadliest for U.S. forces in nearly two years. The high death tolls this month for both Americans and Iraqis have pushed the long and unpopular war back into the public eye in the United States, forcing the Bush administration and the military to address difficult questions in the final weeks of the midterm U.S. election campaign. Vice President Dick Cheney said the United States was not looking for a way out of Iraq. "I know what the president thinks. I know what I think. And we're not looking for an exit strategy. We're looking for vic- tory," Cheney said in an interview posted on Time magazine's Web site Thursday. Caldwell told reporters the U.S.-Iraqi bid to crush violence in the capital had not delivered the desired results, with attacks in Baghdad rising by 22 percent in the first three weeks of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan when compared to the three previous weeks. ROME Priest denies that he had sex with Foley A priest acknowledged yesterday that he was naked in saunas and went skin- ny-dipping with Mark Foley decades ago when the former congressman was a boy in Florida, but denied that the two had sex. The Rev. Anthony Mercieca, 69, speaking by telephone from his home on the Maltese island of Gozo, made his comments after the Sarasota Herald-Tribune published an interview in which he described several encounters that he said Foley might perceive as sexually inappropriate. Mercieca said the Florida news- paper report was "exaggerated. "We were friends and trusted each other as brothers and loved each other as brothers," Mercieca told The Associated Press in Rome. Asked if their associa- tion was sexual, the priest replied: "It wasn't." MILWAUKEE Football stadium threat deemed a hoax Internet threats of "dirty bomb" attacks at NFL stadiums this weekend were a hoax inspired by a writing competition'between two men trying to come up with scary threats, a law enforcement official said yesterday. The threats, which were posted on a Web site last week and mentioned sta- diums in seven U.S. cities, were deemed to be false by the FBI on Thursday after agents questioned a 20-year-old Milwaukee man. "This is a hoax," said Special Agent Richard Kolko, a spokesman at the FBI's Washington headquarters. A joint statement from the FBI and Homeland Security said fans "should be reassured of their security as they continue to attend sporting events this weekend." LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla. Stingray flops into boat, stings man in chest An 81-year-old man was in critical condition yesterday after a stingray flopped onto his boat and stung himleaving a foot-long barb in his chest similar to the accident that killed "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin. "It was a freak accident," said Lighthouse Point acting fire Chief David Donzella. "It's very odd that the thing jumped out of the wateriand stung him. We still can't believe it." Fatal stingray attacks like the one that killed Irwin last month at the Great Bar- rier Reef are rare, marine experts say. Rays reflexively deploy a sharp spine in their tails when frightened, but the venom coating the barb usually causes just a painful sting for humans. James Bertakis of Lighthouse Point was on the water with his granddaughter and a friend Wednesday when a stingray flopped onto the boat and stung Bertakis. The women steered the boat to shore and called 911. - Compiledfrom Daily wire reports CORRECTIhyNS Please report any error in the Daily to corrections@michigandaily.com. I a I I'm headed to Lehman...
