August Casualty Statistics

Another bloody, deadly month for our military in this "War on Terrorism". The death tole is up 150% from August 2006. 18 of the deaths occurred in Afghanistan (which explains the discrepency between my inclusive total, and the currently batted about total of 81). Deaths are typically officially announced 2 to 6 days after they occur. So it's possible (perhaps even probable) that this total will officially increase.

The War's first front in Afghanistan is increasingly deadly which only begs the question: Where is our "War Czar?" I got some questions, but he's nowhere to be found. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
