Yeah.  Whew.  Golly.  Precarious.  Dangerous.  US combat deaths in Iraq 
are becoming *almost* as lethal as that deadly scourge the National 
Safety Council refers to as, "Fall involving bed, chair, other 
furniture."

261 deaths in Iraq (6.5 months)
650 deaths involving "fall involving bed, chair, other furniture" (2000)

Heck, that could be Howdy Dean's new bumper sticker:

"Bush's Iraq Liberation!  Almost as <sob!> deadly as falling outta bed!"

"The U.S. military has had considerably more success in turning Iraq 
around than liberals have had in turning the ghettos around with their 
40-year 'War on Poverty.' So far, fewer troops have been killed by 
hostile fire since the end of major combat in Iraq than civilians were 
murdered in Washington, D.C., last year (239 deaths in Iraq compared to 
262 murders in D.C.). How many years has it been since we declared the 
end of major U.S. combat operations against Marion Barry's regime? How 
long before we just give up and pull out of that hellish quagmire known 
as Washington, D.C.?"
