77 coalition soldiers were killed this month by hostile fire, as of the last count. This is the fourth highest total since the end of major combat operations, and the fifth highest since the war began. It is the fifth and sixth highest for total deaths (i.e. both hostile and non-hostile).
This seems to me to put a bit of a pall over any claims that we are defeating the insurgency.
That is all.
