(May 27, 2007)--Nearly a thousand American troops have been killed in Iraq since last Memorial Day, and that number is expected to rise.
In the past year, 980 US forces have been killed in Iraq, compared to 807 who died in the previous year.
At least 100 troops have died this month alone.
Experts expect an increase in casualties now that more troops are taking on insurgents and militias.
The security crackdown in Baghdad has been under way for three months and experts note that thousands more soldiers are patrolling the streets and living in isolated posts across the city, making them more vulnerable to attack.
Even President Bush says troops will face a difficult summer in the war.
Last week he said August could become ``bloody'' and ``difficult.''
