The Left Will Hate This News, Fewer Soldiers Killed

The left in America will not be happy about the news out of Iraq where it was reported that the number of US deaths in the month of September was the lowest in 14 months and marked the fourth month of decrease. Seems to me that this coincides with the time line of the surge:

US military losses in Iraq for September stood at 70 on Sunday, the lowest monthly figure since July last year, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures.

The figure also marks the fourth consecutive drop in the monthly death toll following a high of 121 in May. June saw 93 deaths, July 82 and August 79. The monthly toll in July 2006 was 53.

Two US soldiers were killed on Saturday in separate incidents, pushing the overall toll of American losses since the March 2003 invasion to 3,801. Breitbart

The anti war left is hell bent on using the names and faces of our war dead to force a surrender. They love to count the number of dead and use that information as a reason to stop and surrender immediately. Since they insist on using the number of dead as a benchmark to bring them home, will they now say it is OK to stay?

We are winning the war and the surge is working. Anything good for America is bad for the Democrats and the rest of the liberals. I wonder how this will change what the Democratic candidates have to say?

This also cannot be good news for those in Congress who want to surrender. Now they have to think of another reason…
