How will you view 2007?
I subscribe to Google News Alerts, a service that emails me news articles for topics I specify, and the Iraq War is one of such topics. Today, I received an email from Google that had these two news articles in in: “2007: Deadliest year for US forces in Iraq” and “US December death toll in Iraq second-lowest of war“. Now, both articles state the same two basic facts: 2007 was the deadliest year in Iraq and December had the second lowest monthly death toll of the war. However, as you can see from the titles of the stories, each spins this information to show a different light.
My question to you now is how will you view 2007? Will you view it as a year where we initiated a successful plan in Iraq or only as the deadliest year in Iraq? Are you a glass is half empty or half full kind of person?
Gateway Pundit has a good article on the military deaths in Iraq and the media’s spin on this subject.
