DOD Has Not Released Any Deaths in Iraq in 2 Days. I wonder...

Does anyone think the coronation has anything to do with it? I have posted attacks on the US in LBN for 2 days without any release of casualties from the Military. Very fishy.

2. I saw a pic yesterday of a car bomb in Iraq and it showed

several of our soldiers lying in the street dead. But I didn't hear any mention of any of this on the news. I will try and locate that pic.

4. Wouldn't want the stench of death to hang over the coronation.

The great heaps of dead grunts and innocent Iraqis around the stage are so offputting.
