3. What's Up With this Figure?

'The soldier's death brought to 845 the number of U.S. troops killed in action since the start of the Iraq war last year.'

845? How about over 1100?

5. that number needs to continue to go down

so that the *Co's number can rise /sarcasm

That number only takes into consideration those that are killed in "hostile" actions - the others aren't really dead /sarcasm again (?)

Maybe the news media thinks that they can convince viewers/readers that 2 + 2 = .5

Can't seem to get a grip onmy attitude today - guess we might have a few less dead soldiers if we had secured those explosives.

RIP soldier
