| Afghanistan deadlier than Iraq again for troops |
| 2008-06-30 |
| It's the New Quagmire... KABUL, Afghanistan - More U.S. and NATO troops have been killed in Afghanistan than in Iraq for the second straight month. An Associated Press count finds that attacks in Afghanistan killed at least 44 international troops in June. About 30 international troops have died in Iraq this month. A record number of U.S. and NATO troops now patrol Afghanistan's dangerous countryside, exposing more soldiers than ever to danger. But Taliban attacks are becoming increasingly complex, and in June, increasingly deadly. Four attacks in June killed four soldiers. No single attack had killed more than three international troops since last August. So 4/4=1. How "complex" is it for AP to do the math? |

| #2 I still think we should offer the chicken NATO countries an opportunity to swap their troops out of Afghanistan and into Iraq. Now that Iraq has turned into a milk run, and karma is a bitch. |

| #1 Republican (Optimist): The death count in Iraq has dropped below Afghanistan for the second month in a row. Democrat (Pessimist): The death count in Afghanistan has exceeded that in Iraq for the second month in a row. Independent: Mows his own lawn. |
