US Military Deaths in Iraq Lowest in 14 Months

US military losses in Iraq for September stood at 70 on Sunday, the lowest monthly figure since July last year, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures.

The figure also marks the fourth consecutive drop in the monthly death toll following a high of 121 in May. June saw 93 deaths, July 82 and August 79. The monthly toll in July 2006 was 53.


It also appears from my perspective that a Ramadan offensive never really crystallized like it has in past years. More evidence the surge is working?
