TTLF: Bad News, Army Needs More Contractors

This is not getting much airplay in the MSM

U.S. combat deaths in Iraq for the last month have dropped by more than two-thirds compared with October of last year, while the total death toll has been reduced almost 50 percent since September.

The bulk of deaths are still occurring in Baghdad, which was also true last year, and improvised explosive devices are still the most frequently used weapon by the terrorists. But IED attacks have still declined steadily.

Nonetheless, Maj. Winfield Danielson, a spokesman for the Multi-National Force-Iraq, was cautious in assessing the situation.

“I don’t want to be too optimistic and say we turned a corner,” Danielson told Cybercast News Service. “But success breeds success. The more havens we are able to find, the more encouraged Iraqi citizens will be to come forward and help us find people.”

Fortunately for the lefties, our liberal media is still on their quest to find as many bad news stories and highlight them as the lead

The demands of supplying soldiers in combat require an additional 1,400 military and civilian personnel with the authority to sign contracts, a new report finds.

U.S. officials familiar with the report, which was to be released Thursday, did not say how much the additional personnel would cost. The Army’s contracting work force now has just over 10,000 people.

OMG, the war is a quagmire, we need to just pack up and redeploy to Midway!

This story was tops at Yahoo News, and one of the most emailed. Anything by the liberal media to avoid the good news that is happening in Iraq.
