“The day nobody was killed in Iraq”

“The day nobody was killed in Iraq”
By Michelle Malkin • November 4, 2007 09:54 PM

You haven’t read about this on the front page of the NYTimes, have you? Doesn’t fit the narrative:

Quote:
There have certainly been several days in the past month when no US or British soldiers were killed.

During a five-day stretch between October 19 and 23, there were no deaths among coalition forces. Although three US servicemen died from “non-hostile causes”, this was the longest period without combat deaths for almost four years. And, between October 27 and 29, there were more days without coalition deaths.

Such statistics do not take account of deaths among the Iraqi security forces or civilians. But Iraqis, too, have had days when no one in their ranks has died. On October 13, for instance, neither the coalition nor the Iraqi military suffered any deaths. But one Iraqi policeman was killed, along with four reported civilian deaths in Baghdad.

Two days later, there were no deaths among the coalition but six among the Iraqi security forces.

October 19 was a death-free day for both coalition and Iraqi security forces, but 12 civilians were killed.

The civilian death toll was lower on October 23 - when four were killed - but they were joined in the mortuaries by two Iraqi policemen.

On October 30, the Iraq Interior Ministry reported that there were no civilian deaths in Baghdad but three US troops and four Iraqi policemen were killed.

It is beyond dispute, though, that the tide of violence in Iraq has been stemmed.

Wow a whole day! Has the standard become that bad now?
When there comes a time when you whiny little neocons shut the frack up forever and a death in Iraq is no more significant than a death in Egypt, France, or Canada to us. Then that will be the day.

WWI, the defeat of the ottoman empire and, the repatriation of Turkey, under a military and constitutional mandate to secular government, must keep you awake with anger for nights on end.

Well, I guess you will never be able to use the dying Iraqis as a club to bludgeon us with again now that you have clearly shown you don't give a sh!t about 0 civilian deaths.

Just curious, do you know if al Qaeda pays stooges well?

“The day nobody was killed in Iraq”

well, I'm not surprised at all to learn that, according to bhkad and Michelle Malkin, if you're not a soldier in Iraq, you're nobody.

were civilians killed in Iraq? who cares! it doesn't fit the narrative!

Opinion: One day does not equal one year.

And the year isn't even over yet.
