The candidates don’t seem to be concerned with Iraq anymore. Here’s a little reminder that the fatalities continue. Add 5 more to the list of 31 that have died already this month. (BAGHDAD (AP) The U.S. military says five American soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq’s northern Ninevah province.) Does anyone recall big news on January 9th that 9 of our soldiers were killed that day? No….didn’t happen.
