Just a short diary, But I hadn't seen anyone comment extensively on the sudden uptick in US soldiers dying in Iraq from a variety of means. I traveled over to
http://icasualties.org/... and it was like taking a beating.
Thirteen in three days in October and a large uptick in the last part of Sept.
I haven't seen anything in any of the media with Foley on 24 x 7 . I did see the Diary on the two Battle groups headed to Iran and now I'm wondering if there is a connection here.
I was always lousy at math but thirst for power- sex scandals with box could = loss of power. I'm wondering if this Foley thing will push us into war with Iran as that arrival date is on the 21st.
Anyone think these guys aren't going to go into "lets try anything" mode?
Comments ?
UPDATE
One good diary on this already
here
and also a few more.
