As expected the US death toll in Iraq is continuing its downward trend in November. We are on the verge of now 6 straight months declining violence in Iraq: he number of U.S. combat deaths in Iraq this month is headed toward the lowest monthly level since March 2006, reflecting a turnaround in U.S. efforts […]

There are only two days left in the month of November and anything can happen in two days. But some preliminary numbers I am seeing show the level of violence is going to show another drop in November from the previous month, continuing a major downward trend from the January-February period this month.
