They probably hide the iraqi bodies in those trucks that went to syria...Oh wait, that was before the war.
Seriously, I dont like one death here, but we are on the verge of success with 2 free elections, an iraqi constitution, federalization, Saddam and Sons dead, prosperity in the vast swath of Iraq,buisness booming, wages and jobs up. I cant see running now
Nobody likes one death here, but you're excatly right in that you're looking past the body counts and towards the facts behind them.
The numbers can be skewed for and against us, but the numbers themselves are only part of the story. There are plenty of events, data and trends, both good and bad, that lurk behind the numbers. Those are what will make or break Iraq. Iraq could lose a five thousand people a week and emerge democratic, and it could turn to theocracy without a shot being fired. The raw numbers, without context, don't mean much at all.
