Despite the offensive launched against Al Qaeda earlier this month in Mosul, US fatalities in January were among the lowest levels in the past year. 39 US soldiers were killed in Iraq during January. One year ago, 83 US soldiers were killed in Iraq. (Just for fun, I looked at lefty blogs to see what they were saying about the January numbers... no big surprise: they are claiming the January figures are bad news.... to give you a sample, I am linking to this angry Democrat blogger handwringing about the numbers.)Hat tip: Gateway Pundit
