GBAIKIE: "Meanwhile Iraqi security forces are steadily improving and getting larger [now 250,000]. It's possible that further lowering of US forces may be possible in next few months."
Meanwhile, the Bush death count has climbed to 2,381 American soldiers killed in Iraq. And, 17,469 Soldiers have been wounded, about 8,100 so seriously they could not return to duty.
Even at $8 billion a month, one wonders if we're getting our money's worth?
