Iraq Progress?

"Remember, the fatality and casualty rates are higher in 2004 than 2003; higher since Hussein's capture than before; higher since "sovereignty" was turned over on June 28 than before. You can slice and dice the data anyway you choose, but it's not progress."

of course i did!

not that it really made all that much difference, as i live in virginia beach which is full of military people, who all voted for bush. although i was happy to see that while bush did win virginia, it was only by like 5%.

i actually noticed that across the board, with the exception of georgia, where he won by like 35%. every state where bush won, he only just BARELY won.
