#1 the biggest US human losses in Iraq in two days Maybe he meant the biggest two-day loss? Not only mean, but incompetent.

It's always the biggest something, isn't it? Biggest since this, biggest since that, biggest in two months, biggest since I woke up this morning.

Guadacanal was the biggest. Then D-Day was the biggest. Then Monte Casino was the biggest since Guadacanal. Battle of the Bulge was the biggest setback since Dunkirk - biggest setback in four years! Then Iwo Jima was really big. Okinawa was the biggest yet.

Then we won.

How did the press manage way back then?
