Allright. Now OReilly’s gonna get his panties in a wad about the strange disappearnace of Whazzit66.
I believe there has been some question about the veracity of these numbers. There are claims of death totals by ministries whose funding is determined by those numbers, but no independent verification of them.
Perhaps far more subtle is these numbers are “throughout Iraq” and the surge’s profound success has been found where it was focused — in Baghdad.
