    If it was not so pathetic I would laugh

    I heard a MSM talking head say with a straight face that things are improving, " Figures released on Friday suggested that the number of civilians and security forces killed across Iraq in January - 541 - was the lowest monthly total for nearly two years" How long would any other civilized society tolerate thes kinds of numbers? If it was 3 people a month killed by a random bomb over here there would be non-stop 7-24 coverage to the exclution of all else.
