US-led forces in Iraq have lost control of several important cities and towns in the country to insurgents groups and thus these cities would have to be regained in the upcoming general elections. This situation would be a grievous setback for the Bush administration and hopes of a post-Saddam Hussein era of peace, democracy, and prosperity for the Iraqis.
