Sam;

Fewer US troops getting killed and wounded. Violence levels down to 3 or 4 year lows

Perhaps the country and the people there are becoming exhausted from fighting and are willing to bury their hatreds for each other. I hope so, but remain skeptical. Doesn't change the stats that I posted.

My hatred of the Iraq conflict is that we have taken our eye off our enemy in Afghanistan. We are no closer to victory in Afghanistan than we were when we started, despite the horrendous cost - especially to our military. .......What is it we are trying to win in Iraq? Fewer Americans being killed? Not much of a win if you ask me. Winning for me would be NO Americans killed and Americans coming home and the stats I listed improving. Iraq taking care of Iraq.
