The U.S. military says violence across Iraq has reached its lowest level in more than four years..
McClatchy's Nancy Youssef notes deaths among Iraqi troops have also dropped:
Statistics compiled by the U.S. military show that Iraq troop deaths also are falling, dropping to around 100 through May 24, compared to a peak of about 320 last July. That decline is particularly surprising because this month, Iraqi forces swept through the southern port city of Basra, the Sadr City section of Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul.Harry "This war is lost" Reid and Hillary "We cannot win" Clinton were not available for comment.
