US Tracks Lowest Monthly Fatalities Since War Began You'd have to go back to February 2004 to find a month with comparable numbers. With 24 hours remaining... The US military is on track to see the lowest number of monthly fatalities in Iraq since the war began in March, 2003. In February 2004 the US lost 20 soldiers in the 29 day period. This month the US has lost 21 soldiers in the 31 day period. The Bush Surge continues to show amazing results. This follows the news yesterday that 75% of the Al-Qaeda network has been eliminated in Iraq. posted by Gateway Pundit at 12/30/2007 06:49:00 PM Trackback
