| A teensy weensy bit of good news for US forces in Afghanistan |
|
January 2007 marks the first calendar month since July 2002 that no US servicemembers were reported killed in Afghanistan.
Its not even identifiable as a tunnel, let alone looking for a light at the end, but at least something good can be said.
The month also saw six "good" days in Iraq, where no coalition forces were killed. While that is much better than the 2 days in September 06, and the three each in October, November, and December; it sadly falls well short of the January average of 10 good days, and the overall monthly average of 6.8.
No records are available to me, but I suspect the Iraqi people haven't had a really good day in many, many years.

I guess with Iraq dominating the news the deaths in Afghanistan do not get much coverage. I didn't know that there were still a that many deaths in Afghanistan.
