No U.S. Servicemen have been killed in the last 24 hours (knock on wood). This is very good news for several reasons. First, and most obvious, it’s always good news when our troops don’t get hurt. Second, the “resistance” knows that there is a huge PR value in killing at least one American every day. The “daily toll” story line is their greatest asset. Third, no US troops have been killed since Saddam’s tape came out confirming that Uday and Qusay are dead. According to various broadcasts, this confirmed for millions of skeptical Iraqis that the pig boys were really dead. Saddam (or his sound alike) were clearly hoping their deaths would inspire more “martyrs” but maybe it had the opposite effect.
