I was actually about to be a good evenhanded liberal and write a post similar to Calpundit's highlighting the fact that things "
seem a bit better" in Iraq. At the very least, February was the month with the fewest deaths of American servicemen/women since this whole ridiculous thing began. But, things are also really horrible in Iraq. The death toll from the latest round of bombings is currently at 271. That's
a big damn number.
