observations from a window seat in the handbasket headed for hell
The 899 deaths [of US soldiers in Iraq] in 2007 surpassed the previously highest death toll in 2004, when 850 U.S. soldiers were killed.
We don’t know how many civilian contractors or how many Iraqis have been killed this year, nor whether it’s more or less than any of the nearly five years since we freed them from Saddam Hussein and brought them democracy.
