Really good news. Still not perfect. Of course, zero deaths is best.

Wonder how the losses in Iraq compare to the number of violent deaths in the U.S. per day. Probably not an apple-apples comparison but a way to show that the situation in Iraq isn't that bad.

This is indicative of how FReepers succumb to idiotic thinking beset by liberal spin.

OK, I want death suspended in Iraq. Nobody gets sick. Nobody dies of natural causes. Nobody dies of any accidents doing anything the least bit risky. Well, at least in Iraq for our miltary.

In all my time in the military we've never had zero deaths in any year, and I've never heard anyone say, "Still not perfect. Of course, zero deaths is best."

The laughter at such idiocy would have killed people in the room.
