#1 American forces passed a third straight day without reporting the loss of a soldier in combat. According to the military authorities in the Iraqi capital there had not been a U.S. soldier killed in action since late Friday night.

The Democrats must be pissed about this!

#2 I can see some response strategies that I'm sure the troopers see. A slightly delayed follow-up force arriving on-scene (like the choppers) about the time they get themselves all whipped up to kill some troops or cops would've been interesting. The fact that they walked away after burning out the copshop is bad. That notion needs disabusing fast. The Iraqis with the balls to be cops should not have to wonder if they'll get mobbed every time they do the right thing. While the forces are there, the shitheads who think they can mob together and do whatever their imagined outrage demands need a little re-education regards civilization.
