Body Count Drops By 50% In Baghdad, Media Calls This A “Small Success”

Sometimes our military can’t win for trying…

BAGHDAD, Iraq: The Baghdad security operation has been under way less than three weeks but has already registered one small success: a sharp drop in the number of bullet-riddled bodies found in the streets — victims of sectarian death squads.
The number of bodies found so far this month in Baghdad — most riddled with bullets and showing signs of torture — has dropped by nearly 50 percent to 494 as of Monday night, compared with 954 in January and 1,222 in December, according to figures compiled by The Associated Press.

A small success eh?
Of course, had the body count gone up by 50% headlines forecasting impending doom and failure in Iraq would have been all over the place. But body counts dropping by 50%? No big whoop, I guess.
Move along. No media bias to see here.
