What will it take? Maybe the news that five female marines were killed? Or is that June is now officially deadlier than May, which was deadlier than April...And now the Chimp admits: "the road ahead is not going to be easy." What will he say next Tuesday?

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber attacked a U.S. Marine vehicle in the city of Falluja, killing six American troops in one of the deadliest single assaults on U.S. ground forces in Iraq, the U.S. military said on Friday. In Washington, U.S. President George W. Bush vowed insurgents in Iraq would be defeated. "The way ahead is not going to be easy," Bush told a White House news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari.

CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin reports that five female Marines are said to be dead, according to officials. They are members of a supply unit who were being driven into Fallujah to assist in searching local women for hidden weapons when their vehicle, which was equipped with armor, was struck by the bomber.
