Today, www.icasualties.org/oif is reporting 3,800 American service personnel as having died in Iraq.

Since the Surge began/was announced on February 1, 2007, 760 Coalition force members have died in Iraq. Looking over time, the Surge/Escalation has been significantly ineffective.

In complete months since 2/1/2007, year over year, there have been have been a total 26 preceeding months. The Surge has been more deadly than all but 2 of those 26 months.

February 07 - 81 dead
February 06 - 55 dead
February 05 - 58 dead
February 04 - 20 dead

March 07 - 81 dead
March 06 - 31 dead
March 05 - 35 dead
March 04 - 52 dead
March 03 - not a complete month of battle - 65 dead in major combat operations.

This pattern follows through month over month with two exceptions, listed here.

April 07 - 104 dead
April 04 - 135 dead

August 07 - 84 dead
August 05 - 85 dead

Who can ask a soldier to be the last man to die for a mistake?

On December 28, 2007, the United States military announced the 3,900 fatalitie of an American Soldier in Iraq.

Thankfully, I have not had to post on this thread for a couple of months. October, November, and December of 2007 have seen the least American fatalities since July, August and September of 2003.

Wow....just...wow. I can't help but wonder how this war will go down in history. What type of memorial will we use to signify this loss?

Thank you for updating, elder.
