Inconvenient victory fact of the day
Fewer American soldiers died in Iraq during the three months ended Friday than in any other three month period since the invasion.
John Wixted has vastly more in the same vein, including on the corresponding decline in civilian casualties and an estimate of the lives saved because John McCain's preferred policy carried the day a year ago instead of Barack Obama's.

If Obama gets in then, the newspaper business is in for a veritable rennaisance. Samantha Power seems to think we should engage the Israelis militarily, as she appeared to endorse in a 2002 interview this strange policy opinion as expressed by one of her closest colleagues at Harvard, Michael Ignatieff:
The time for endless negotiation between the parties is past: it is time to say that all but those settlements right on the 1967 green line must go; that the right of return is incompatible with peace and security in the region and the right must be extinguished with a cash settlement; that the UN, with funding from Europe, will establish a transitional administration to help the Palestinian state back on its feet and then prepare the ground for new elections before exiting; and, most of all, the US must then commit its own troops, and those of willing allies, not to police a ceasefire, but to enforce the solution that provides security for both populations.
What do you make of this TH? (thanks to LGF for the original link)
