I wonder, are there more ATTACKS on our troops than there was a year ago or do the Shia attacks make up a higher percentage of the total because the Sunni attacks are down?
The last time I checked Defense Link the General's speech had not been posted. If and when it is, I'm going to defer to it for reliable statistics. In terms of your question, the impression the media coverage gives of the speech is that Shiite Militia attacks are up.
