Have you updated your Iraq casualties chart lately? Something interesting

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. military is expressing hope that the
recent troop buildup in Iraq is making strides as commanders point to
the American death toll in the war zone -- the lowest monthly total
since November. As of late Tuesday, 73 U.S. troops were killed in
July, a striking drop from earlier this year when spring brought the
worst three-month period for U.S. troop deaths since the war began:
104 in April, 126 in May and 101 in June." (from

This is why I put this up --six months ago-- when The Surge was
being promoted:

Heh. I hadn't thought of that and I should have. They haven't adjusted
their casualty figures for seasonal cycles.

Ok, now *I* feel shame.
