Will someone mention to the AP that 33 or even 60 a day, around the counrty, is not much different from the murder rate in Philly, LA, New Orleans and NJ combined. The deaths are small by comparison to the weapons used. We kill 15,000 people a year on our highways and nobody thinks we are in a civil war.

Using stupid stats is an MSM trick and our highway deaths have no relation to anything, but it is the type of crap these yahoos use to make up their story and sell a headline of "We are losing and that is why we are hated." they are terrible at getting real news and putting 2 and 2 together. Why someone is dying in Iraq - 33 or 60 a day - is known not because they have good data, but because they have chosen to use crappy data to tell the we are losing story. / rant off
