On Casualties

Coalition fatalities are down this month, and unlike last month, the number of Iraqis being killed by violence does not appear to be particularly high, at least for the last week.

Neocons will no doubt either credit the elections or the unrest in Lebanon for causing this happy occurrence (in the latter case, they'll claim that Lebanon has distracted Syria and/or Iran from directing the insurgency).

My feeling? I think that we are having a short breather. Things will get worse, so we'd better use this time to prepare for when the fecal matter actually hits the rotating blade again.

That is all.
