Jan-June 2005 US troop deaths were higher than that for Jan-June 2004. The Jan-June 2006 numbers are a little lower but there is no pattern. This is a battle of attrition and the numbers can rise and fall along the way. Over the next 5-10 years, you will see for yourself that there's really no pattern to the numbers. And over the next 10-20 years, you will see a gradual upward gradient a la Vietnam. The Iraqi resistance has no choice but to keep fighting. Unlike USSA, they cannot pack up and go home; they are already home. So they will keep fighting as long as we are there. Looks like our rulers have decided that 2-3 US soldiers a day is a small price to pay for the corporate control of Iraq and its resources. And as long as the 2-3 soldiers are not your kids, do you regressive flag-wavers really care?! Of course not.
