Hillary Clinton's tough week
While waiting for an Obama stumble, she needs to run a perfect campaign, and she messed up with her Bosnia "memories."

  • Deaths by sniper fire in Iraq

    The DOD websites are a bit clunky, but I'm counting at least 48 US casualties specifically attributed to sniper fire since Bush, Clinton, and others started the war there. Considering the type of war, weapons, and opponents, that seems like a lot.

    I should have written "a year ago last month" in the death I mentioned, not "last month." I found the story here:

    If anyone else is interested in humanizing the cost of the war even as Clinton, Bush, and others try to dehumanize those costs, small town papers are the best place to turn.
