Why The Media Is Really Quiet About Iraq Casualties All Of A Sudden
Have you noticed how, when in past months when U.S. casualties have been really high, the media leads off every story in Iraq with a comment like "amidst the highest levels of U.S. casualties in Iraq in three months..." Funny how they never do that when the U.S. finishes a month with the lowest number of casualties in a year.
Also note from the chart that the 30 casualties from March mark a downward trend in casualties spanning six months, from October of last year. That marks the single longest decline in casualties since the beginning of the war.
What's all this tell us? The terrorists are less successful in their attacks and fewer of our troops are being put in harm's way because the Iraqi security forces are taking more of a leading role in securing the country.
In short, we're winning in Iraq...but don't expect to hear about that in the media.
