Now, for your amusement, the body counts of dead insurgents.

When you tune into a ball game late, and you hear the announcers for your favorite team intone, "And that's their biggest lead of the game," you know that that's good news in only one direction. When you find out it's your team that's behind, you know they're headed for a loss.

Likewise, when you hear the announcers intone that American and Iraqi forces just routed "the largest insurgent camp found to date," it means that they're going to keep finding larger and larger insurgent camps. It's definitely NOT good news.

But it's comforting to know that the Americans and the Iraqis are "making their own inroads" against the insurgents.
