In a previous post, I ask whether or not Iraq is getting better.
Well, current casualty counts say that there are 94 coalition deaths in Iraq for January so far, 49 hostile, 14 non-hostile, and 31 from the helicopter crash which is presumed non-hostile butn ot confirmed yet. If it turns out to be non-hostile, then January 2005 will have more non-hostile deaths (45) than any other month so far. If hostile, then it will have the 5th highest hostile death toll (80) of any month so far (April 2004 is 1st with 131, November 2004 2nd with 129, November 2003 3rd with 94 and March 2003 4th with 82).
January 2005 cvan still be the lowest hostile fatality month since July 2004 if the crash was non-hostile and if there are fewer than 9 hostile deaths in the next few days.
That is all.
