Seek and Ye Shall Find
A few weeks ago I asked why we can't get the numbers on the number of Islamic terrorists we're killing in Iraq. So here they are.The first is combat deaths to combat deaths.
The second is IED plus combat deaths to combat deaths. Looks about a nine to one ratio to me. Although in May, it was more like 5 to 1. So clearly the surge is failing

Thanks for digging up those stats. I've always had the feeling we were greasing lots of them for every one of our guys.
You're welcome eric. Mike, they seem familiar (and you're too young to remember the weekly figures on the evening news) because it is about the same ratio. The good guys lost about 250 k and the bad guys about 2 million. I do agree that they hide these figures just bacause of the comparison with Viet Nam. Thanks you two for the comments.
