The number of US Casualties in Iraq in February looks like it will be sharply down compared to the previous six months or more. There have been 54 deaths so far in February (one day to go) which would be comparable to the June/July 2004 numbers and better than any month other than those two since March 2004. Now one month of improvement does not of itself make a trend but it does go hand in hand with the news that many terrost leaders have been caught in the last few weeks. Watch for this number to fail to be reported on the BBC and other "unbiased" news outlets.
