News to be thankful for 

By TigerHawk at 5/26/2008 10:55:00 PM


Twenty-six days into May, we have this bit of news to be thankful for: The month-to-date rate for Coalition fatalities is lower than at any time since the invasion. Previous dips in casualty rates have proved to be ephemeral; perhaps this one will not be. Either way, it is Memorial Day news to be grateful for.

Peripherally related: I've been visiting this blog long enough to know that one of your primary theories about the WoT is that victory requires that we discredit the Islamist ideology to the point where it can no longer replenish itself with recruits and eventually putters out, like Communism.

Well, this is the first time I've seen evidence that that might be happening now, and I thought you might appreciate a heads up.
