Fort Riley soldiers returning from Iraq say progress is being made and back President Bush in staying the course. About 800 troops attended his Kansas State University speech as the war nears its third year with 2,200 American deaths including 65 from Fort Riley and three from the Kansas National Guard. Lt. Col. Oscar Hall said roadside bombs dropped from 14 daily in 2005 to about two now and that conditions have improved enabling democratic election progress.
