This is even lamer than the "Iraq war has gone on longer than World War II" stories:
The latest deaths also brought the number of U.S. military members killed since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003 to at least 2,978 — five more than the number killed in the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
You can't even think about doing that math, let alone sitting down to write the sentence and stick it in a supposedly objective news story, without having a mindset that says "This war is wrong, President Bush is evil, and it's time for him to admit it and get us out of there." How many people died at Pearl Habor? At what point during World War II did the number of U.S. military members killed equal that number?
