Then tell the public we're killing al Qaeda every day

This is a complaint that I've had for a long time. I believe that a lot of the negative feeling about Iraq is caused by the belief that our guys are standing around waiting to be killed. Body count went out of fashion with Viet Nam, but I'm nostalgic.

Roger that. Also, some Clintonite in the Pentagon thought that enemy body counts weren't a good barometer of progress and would risk inflaming the Arab Street.

Screw that. I want heads.
