One incomplete mths death toll does not suggest a trend. In order for a trend to be established it has to have consistencys over a span of time which can be compared to other charts. For anyone to suggest a downward trend is occuring on one mths incomplete data is selling swampland.

..radiob, now for the facts. Let me enlighten you and the rest of your liberal pals. From GlobalSecurity.org here's the facts on monthly death toll of US troops in Iraq:

May - 121

June - 98

July MTD - 57

rabiob, are you detecting a trend? And your comments are a little strange...........who are you rooting for?

Maybe the Sunni are killing less Americans now that Bushit is arming them in Anbar. When are American Politicians going to address the Sunni Saudi Arabia Threat and quit talking about the Israeli enemy Iran?

Death Toll decreasing in Iraq and increasing in U.S. Cities! What about home? The U.S. is half way around the world trying to secure Baghdad and can't even secure Philadelphia where Pres. Bush is visiting today, someone should pull his coattail and bring that to his attention. How about a troop surge in Philadelphia where 2 were murdered just yesterday? Philadelphia is averaging one murder a day since the new year!

.......tbweb, you mean the "deep blue" city of Philadelphia? The same Philadelphia that has been under "one party rule" (Democrats) for decades and generations? If you Democrats don't know how to run a city...........then you should get out of the way! and let the GOP run these "deep blue" cities. That's what New Yorkers "finally" did in 1993 when they (Democrats) finally voted for a Republican (Rudy). Now New York City is the "safest" blue city in America.

Voters, YOU, have to make the change away from the failed policies of the Democrat Party if you want things to improve in "your" deep blue city.

Am I clear?

Huh... I just read yesterday that the death rate was going up. Just more counter intelligence since the government and media minions know that America is about to explode with anger over corruption and non representation? I think so.

I learn about what is going on in the world by reading the blogs from whatreallyhappened.com and then reading the corporate media propaganda to see what they want us to believe.

Based on those two sources, you can tell what they are thinking and planning to do next.

I comment here for theropy - thanks CBS, it is all the mental health therapy I can afford these days.

EXAMPLE: They banned public camera use in New York City recently but not a peep from corporate media ******.

TRANSLATION: They are getting ready to do another fake terror attack in an attempt justify the move of the NY financial sector to Israel. Dirty bomb attack in the fall I am guessing. 911 had too many cameras quoting firefighters talking about bombs in the WTC.

The pentagon however, more video cameras than any place on Earth didn't show a plane...

Israel has hijacked our government for a reason, to get us to fight their wars and to steal our financial districts. They are setting up a global financial feifdom in Israel presently. Wall street is run by the Jews anyway.

I have read that the Star Wars Program was really 30 billion dollars worth of banking satellites with a main computer hub (Linux running mysql) for the US in the pentagon.

The general states this with "cautious optimism". So, when the month is out and we "only" lose a total of, what, 90, will the general still be optomistic? I'm sure the idiots who plant the bombs and fire the rockets and do the ambushes will read his statement and redouble their efforts in killing Americans. Out of the chimps mess NOW.

"We're turning a corner."

"Stay the course."

How many times do they get to make that excuse?

If ONE US soldier dies in Iraq, that is ONE too many.
