I was shocked to learn that USA Today had a (drumroll) positive story about Iraq!!! Okay - I don’t read the USA Today every day, so maybe this isn’t the first time - but wow!
Roadside bomb attacks and fatalities in Iraq are down by almost 90% over the last year, according to Pentagon records and interviews with military leaders.
In May, 11 U.S. troops were killed by blasts from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) compared with 92 in May 2007, records show. That’s an 88% decrease.
Military leaders cite several factors for the drop in attacks and deaths.
I did a search for the “Roadside bombs decline in Iraq”, and found one other story that referenced the USA Today story.
Still - I’m thrilled either way. This of course is probably getting all over the backside of the libs who want total failure in Iraq!!!

I’m shocked, too. Where’s all the others on this? Oh yeah, they don’t give a flip.
The only time I read USA TODAY is if it comes free with the hotel room!
