They were low in September and they were low in April. If they have a freak accident and two Hummers crash into each other you will have the deadliest month. Please lets put the casualties in context of history and other conflicts.

Iraq has a democraticly elected government and are no longer under an oppressive regime. sounds like success to me.

That has nothing to do with US interests, or goals.
