U.S. air attacks in Iraq double pace as bases surge
Four years into the war, U.S. air strikes in Iraq rise to more than twice last year's rate. By mid 2007, 237 bombs and missiles were dropped in 44 months, surpassing all of 2006. A second aircraft carrier adds about 80 planes to the area while civilian deaths rise, though the U.S. military says it does not track civilian casualties.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates pressed for quicker political reconciliation in Iraq as a May 31 energy law deadline passed. He avoided direct criticism while signaling U.S. impatience over slower-than-expected steps toward a unity government. Oil Ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said the hydrocarbons law needs cabinet approval before parliamentary debate, hoping ratification within about a month.
