The U.S. military said 96 U.S. troops have died so far in October, the most in one month since October 2005, when the same number was killed. The spike in deaths has been a major factor behind rising antiwar sentiment in the United States, fueling calls for President Bush to change tactics. In other violence, 12 police officers were killed in fighting with suspected militia gunmen in Baqouba, northeast of Baghdad, officials said. Eighteen militants also were killed. The deadliest month for U.S. forces in Iraq was November 2004, when military offenses primarily in the then-insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad, left 137 troops dead, 126 of them in combat. In January 2005, 107 U.S. troops were killed. Rumsfeld tells war critics to 'back off WASHINGTON —Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Thursday that anyone demanding deadlines for progress in Iraq should "just back off," because iti's too difficult to predict when Iraqis will resume control of their country. During an oftencombative Pentagon news conference, Rumsfeld said that while benchmarks for security, political and economic progress are valuable, "it's difficult. We're looking out into the future. No one can predict the future with absolute certainty." He said the goals have no specific deadlines or consequences if they are not met by specific dates. "You're looking for some sort of a guillotine to come falling down if some date isn't 5 Q 6 9 . 4 7 3 7 6 3 4 0 in 1 2 ? c 8 3 do ku The policy of The Daily Utah Chronicle is to correct any error made as soon as possible.

"That is not what this is about." His comments came less than two weeks before an election for control of Congress in which the Bush administration's conduct of the war has become a defining issue. They also came two days after a timeline wasfirstannounced by U.S. officials in Baghdad and underscored strains that have emerged between the two countries. Bush administration officials said Tuesday that they and Iraqi leaders had agreed to craft guidelines toward progress in the country. The next day, Iraq's prime minister disavowed them, saying the benchmarks merely reflected campaign season pressures in the U.S. 6 6 1 9 ^^ 2 (@) A house burns after being torched by the Espleranza wildfire Thursday in the ' Twin Pine section of Riverside, Calif, Awind-driven wildfire near Palm Springs • engulfed a fire engine Thursday; killing three firefighters, and up to 400 people were trapped in a recreational vehicle park .when flames blocked the only road' out, officials said.

The administration once talked of "orderly migration"—workers entering the United States and returning to Mexico or other countries when their jobs were finished. But political realities have replaced phrases like that with "border security" and plans for fences, surveillance cameras, unmanned 8fre$*to Work States 3 Discord deity 1 Ones running things 16 It's black and tan 5 Some tributes 17 Rooster hotdor 6 Took place 18 Aimies 7 Prolssseur's charge 2 4 3 8 It covers the . . . main points . 21 Passbook abbr. 9 22 Short units, perhaps 972 10 37 Where to see many rams? ^ 38 Sulky racer )970.72 ' 44 Sports supporter 46 Discontinuities Labine 23 24 - 14 Is obviously happy ,„ , 15 Lapses „..,-, J 21 Film director 30 37 46T 54 • - ' ' if 36 B «" l U B 11UC •*"«' •" News 801 -SSYitfEWS - Z f ' - • "I," ' •"-'K- 1 » M ' « " - , • j 49 Athletic assoc. 50 " '<{ ; « : pul H another way „ .

POPPET FLAT, Calif.—A windwhipped wildfire started by an arsonist killed four firefighters Thursday and stranded up to 400 people in an RV park when flames burned to the edge of the only road out, officials said. "Everybody is hunkered down here. They're fighting the fire around us. It's across the street from us," said Charles Van Brunt, a ranger at the station at the entrance to Silent Valley Club, the recreational vehicle park near Palm Springs. The residents were in no immediate danger, he said. Authorities asked people in the RV park to stay put to leave roads clear for firefighters. Hundreds of others in the area were forced from their homes. Fire officials said the blaze was deliberately set around 1 a.m. and had blackened 10,000 acres within 12 hours. Fire Chief John Hawkins said the arson "constitutes murder." It was the deadliest wildfire firefighting disaster in the United States since July io, 2001, when four firefighters were killed in Washington's Okanogan National Forest. They died after becoming trapped by flames on a dusty deadend road in a remote canyon.
