>>Interesting post from Strategy Page. Watching numbers of attacks and numbers of casualties is one of the few ways to get a handle on what is going on in a terror war. That's one reason that the MSM is so remiss in not providing these numbers on a regular basis, which they could do easily.<< Nadine- So you think this analysis really says something important? They've chosen an aribtrary period of time, which they haven't even specified, and made the claim that there has been a 15 to 20% drop in terrorist attacks when comparing that period with the "week or so" before Zarqawi was killed. It goes on to say that American casualties are down due to the fact that American troops are less exposed now. OK, there's at least one thing to feel good about. I think it would be far more enlightening to know exactly what period of time they chose, why they think this dip is statistically important when the "spike" following Zarqawi's death wasn't, and most importantly, what are the trends for Iraqi civilian deaths? That might give us all a better idea of how the war is really going. - Allen
