Is there some sort of unwritten rule on this forum lately that we don't post anything to do with coalition casaulties? Or is it just a coincidence? Or are there so many "election" posts that Iraq is no longer relevant to this forum?

I've been helluva busy with my business the last week or so, not posting much but browsing through the topics whenever I get the chance. It struck me that I'd not noticed anything about casaulties in Iraq, so I figured things must be really good there right now. I did some checking, and ... well, it's better than it was last year, but still 9 US KIAs in the few days I wasn't actively checking.

I'm NOT trying to imply that we need to post everything, or trying to focus on the casaulty figures to show anyone in a bad light. If there is some sort of unwritten rule in place, fine. I'd just like to know....

"Official" (well, this site which is usually very accurate: http://lunaville.org/warcasualties/Summary.aspx ) stats say 11 US KIA in Iraq so far this month, and 66 wounded. Last time I checked it was only 2 KIA.

This proves my point, perhaps? The focus has shifted from military stuff and Iraq to Dems vs GOP.... and nobody seems very aware of whats going on anymore, OR we've all decided to ignore it.
