It's all going swell...


Things are getting better?

I haven't heard much lately about how the war is going. Are we winning? Holding even? Are fewer soldiers dying every day?

I figured I'd find out for myself. I downloaded the US soldier death statistics from the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count site and graphed them in MS Excel. I then added a linear trend line (in red.)

I appears that things are getting worse at a rate that's outstripping the rising price of gasoline. Well. Now I know.
