BAGHDAD (AP) — At least 75 U.S. soldiers have died so far in Iraq in November, making it the deadliest month for American troops since the U.S.-led invasion began on March 20, U.S. military statistics show

A total of 436 U.S. soldiers have died since the start of the war, according to the Pentagon and the latest casualty figures released by the U.S. military in Baghdad. They include 299 soldiers killed in combat, while the others died from other causes such as accidents.

Seventy-five soldiers from other allied nations — including 52 from Britain and 17 from Italy — also have died, bringing the total number of coalition deaths since the war started to more than 500.

1. But but General Sanchez says attacks are decreasing.

Yeah right.

2. But what about the free turkey?

See? Stressing the negative is unfair to all the positive things that are happening in Iraq!

Take the brave occupation leader, Paul Bremer.

True, Bremer's golf gaming has been suffering while he undertakes the courageous work of making Iraq the new cradle of Arab democracy.

But looked at another way, a little time off from the green isn't hurting his handicap any, and it's only building his enthusiasm for the game!
