The website above has a numerically objective tracking of casualties.
The rate of US military casualties in Iraq has plummetted this month. More than halfway through March, the number of deaths is far fewer than 1/2 of February's total and this is reflected by the daily average. Also, an examination of the past 6 months shows a steady decline. The trend is not a single month.
The Iraqi casualty rate is of little or no importance to Americans. Nor should it be.
A low US casualty rate with clear, explicit, lowering trends will reduce any GOP congressional seat loss in November and beyond that will define to the US populace a clear indication of unfolding victory.
Never, ever forget it. Victory is the goal. Not exit. Not peace. Victory.
It was really funny (as in you know it used to be a talking point but won't fly anymore) on some news show someone parroted "over (pause) 2000 have died. He even looked a little embarrassed I guess because he couldn't crow 3000.
Guess the stock market thing has 'em all wound up.
Check is sign-on date. He's left a one of his droppings on another thread as well.
No, no one in the Media is interested in an Iraqi casualty rate... Only American. It isn't news unless Americans are dying...
The casualty rate for trolls here is higher than you'd believe.

LOL! I love the smell of ozone and the feeling of negative ions in the atmosphere.
