Meanwhile, In Iraq

The war in Lebanon has certainly eclipsed the war in Iraq during the past week but casualties continue to mount in Iraq at an even greate rate than in Lebanon. The past week has seen brutal violence as rival Muslim factions attack each other. American casualties are also on the increase. Earlier this month the Iraq Casualty Count showed an average of less than one American killed per day. That figure is now at 1.25, still below the 2.28 average for the war. The average was low during most of June, too, but ended up just over 2 per day for the month.

The bodies just keep coming.
