U.S. troops death toll lowest in eight months

Eleven more coalition troops killed in July 2007 than eight months ago


U.S. commanders encouraged by drop in U.S. deaths in Iraq

Four U.S. troop deaths announced in Iraq
BAGHDAD, July 31 (UPI) -- A U.S. Marine was killed Tuesday in combat with insurgents in Iraq's western province of Anbar, the U.S. military said.

Earlier, the military announced three U.S. soldiers had been killed in Anbar last week but no reason was given for the delay in releasing the information, the Alalam Satellite TV Network reported.

The death toll for U.S. troops rose to 79 for the month with the announcements.

1. Heat is a big factor in a lower cas count.
Packing all that gear around in 130 degree heat will kill you all by itself.

You can bet the number and duration of patrols is way down.

2. As things become more desperate,
the lies become more and more outrageous. Watch big time Fairy Tales being concocted by Washington in the next few weeks.

They're preparing some desperate distortions for September, when the Sands of the Hourglass have run out. Bush will appear before Congress and we know how that will go.



They really have no choice, because they've been on this path for a long time. They're trapped in their own huge enormous lies.

Over time, they get more flagrant because they have to keep moving forward.
