[Grovenet] Productivity?

[Katie Allnutt]

The news is filled with wonderful accounts about how death rates in  
Iraq are back down to 2006 levels.
Hmmm. What if we evaluated in terms of productivity?
We are accomplishing in 2007 with 160K troops what we accomplished in  
2006 with 130K troops.
We live in a strange world where taking more troops to do the same  
job will be heralded as wonderful 'progress'.
I can hardly wait for Rumsfeld to come out of a closet somewhere and  
proclaim that this proves we have finally turned a corner in Iraq.
