Hey Matt, this is one of the better efforts at putting lipstick on a pig
that I've seen in some time. A valiant effort indeed. There have also
been more US soldiers killed in Iraq since the "end of major combat
operations", so one wonders what mission was actually accomplished. You
cite statistics in Texas and California. Texas has a population of over
20 million. California has a population of over 34 million. The number
of US soldiers in Iraq is around 138,000. So, if you get per capita
death rates, I'm sure your comparison won't look so rosy. Never mind the
fact that the "low" number of over 900 dead Americans means 900 grieving
families who don't really care how the rate compares to Texas or
California. As you say "perspective is important".

Today the Iraqi governor of Najaf placed Iraqi police and national guard
units under the command of US forces and gave the Americans permission
to enter the Shrine of Ali, the holiest mosque to Shia muslims. It will
be Americans taking the heat if that happens.

This is greatly exaggerated. All these things were happening prior to
the war anyway.

Before the war, Iraq exported more than 2 million barrels per day. They
haven't pumped anything the last two days and the only exports were from
storage tanks.
Here is a current report from a reporter who previously was praising the
reconstruction effort:
http://fairuse.1accesshost.com/news2/philly3.html
"Most Iraqis aren't seeing the improvements they had hoped for, and
they're not blaming the guerillas - they're blaming the Americans.
Sovereignty seems to have had zero effect on this equation."
"It's now August, and that goal still hasn't been reached. Throughout
much of the country, the power goes off for half the day or more. That
has meant another summer of babies sweltering in 120-degree apartments,
of factories that can't run, of despair turning to hatred."
"A near-total lack of visible progress has prompted even the most
pro-Western Iraqis to lose faith in the capabilities - and worse, the
intentions - of the United States."

Al-Sadr is a Shia, not a Sunni. He is not pissed that Shia are top dogs,
he thinks they should be top dogs. His father and brothers were killed
by Saddam. He is exactly the type of guy who should be supporting the
US. Instead, he is currently fighting to the death inside the holiest
Shia shrine.

I'm curious, is there a statute of limitations on how long you can drag
out saving the French in WWII? After all, the French were quite helpful
to the colonies in the American revolution. Directly across from the
White House lies Lafayette Square with a statue of Marquis de Lafayette.
Should the French be rubbing our faces in that?
