February Sees Lowest U.S. Casualty Rate Since Iraq War Began

Whatever "points" you are trying to score against the Republicans pale in comparison to the harm that was done when the Clintons gained such power in our country and the world.

First off, I didn't vote for or against President Bush, since I was 15 years old in 1992. I would have, though, as being a Catholic, we were always taught to support the pro-life candidate (again, another hint to Republicans that they shouldn't abandon their platform). Second, it's not a matter of voting for Clinton, it's a matter of betraying your base to the point that they will be apathetic and not turn out the vote on Election Day.

Sorry, the GOP does not own my vote or anyone else's. They have to work for it, and part of that is this crazy belief that they actually support their own platform. Otherwise, why have a platform? Instead of sour grapes, and thinking of GOP'ers who stayed home as traitors who helped elect Clinton, maybe you should instead reflect on that as a lesson about why the GOP has to remain conservative and loyal to its principles. When it isn't, people like Clinton get elected.

I don't know who the GOP'ers are that you are trying to lecture from your Gen Next perspective.

God bless and keep all those who fight for us.

I agree. Besides Feb is also the shortest month of the year.

ditto your post at 5.

That's why it was important to note that February also had the lowest death rate.

Incidentally, it was only 1 day shorter than November which had the highest death toll and rate.

Even if you count the first 2 days of March (1 additional death) or the last 2 days of January (3 additional deaths), it is still the lowest death rate and number.

It should be front page news that Iraq is becoming a safer place but it is not news to the left wing media.
