Body bag count from offensive in Iraq

Wow, US forces have killed 71 in this latest offensive so this must mean we're winning, right?

Rummy is really looking for something to pump out if the previously undiscussed, but now suddenly discussed, body bag count is being churned out to the media. It's all part of the "we're winning the war regardless of what you see with your own eyes" propaganda. How about they just scrap the silly body bag counts which mean absolutely nothing and focus on real progress? Are Iraqi people living better and safer or not?

How about: not.
