#1 The bits reporting attacks are sounding more and more like the daily police blotters of Capone's Chicago. I wonder what a current comparison of Baghdad and, say, Washington DC would reveal? Quagmire - in DC?

Thx!

#2 As far as Washington is concerned, I say we face reality, cut our losses and get out.

#4 LOL! Chuck and Ship - you guys are too fast on the draw!

Ship - I be theenking you be right!

Chuck -- Prolly too early since "end" of war was approx mid-April to have anything reliable on Baghdad civilian stats - and prolly unfair to even begin keeping them and thinking it's apples vs apples until the July 1st Iraqi takeover.

Thx!

#5 On the subject of statistics, there has only been one US combat death in the past 7 days. Last November there was over 100 for the month, and an average of 30 per month since liberation. Whatever is being done, casualties are being reduced.

Of course, one is too many, and the families of the dead heros have my sympathy.
