And finally, this terrible milepost: as of today, even taking into account the contradictory methods of toting up US military casualties (at last, a job for Worldcom), it is certain that more American soldiers have died in Iraq since May 1, when President Bush declared that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended," than died in the previous weeks of declared war. Of course, the president never participated in even a minor combat operation, so his confusion may be excused. Put mathematically, we are averaging slightly over one death of a serviceman daily in Iraq, and I don't want to forget this, even as I'm laughing at the SuperFriends.
