Over 150 US military dead in iraq in the past 130 days...

The past 130 days equates to a little over four months. Here are the figures for total deaths due to hostile causes in Iraq for the following months:

April--42

May--15

June--23

July--8

Aug--10

So, the total number of deaths due to hostile fire in Iraq for the past 150 days is 98 KIAs. In the past two months, the figure is 18. We have lost 194 KIAs for the entire year. Some cities in the US have more homicides than this. Every death is a terrible loss, but in terms of the level hostilties, the war in Iraq is essentially over.

Thank you for making my point....war over means zero combat or hostile action deaths...not only one per day....zero.

When we hit that number for 4-6 consecutive months give me a call. Until then the war is not over.
