"Yes, you can question it. But you can't just make shit up." I am not. "I guess you think it is just coincidence that the decline in daily KIA rate started at the same time as the surge (NOT the Anbar Awakening), and has progressed until this very day?" Civilian deaths started to decline in early 2007. blog.washingtonpost.com icasualties.org Now, coalition deaths did drop in July of 2007, but there is usually a drop in June or July and starts to climb later in the year.
