Judging by these headlines from October 26 to the present, I think the Associated Press has developed a sick new fetish:
U.S. death toll in Iraq reaches 96 for October (Oct. 26)
October death toll in Iraq for U.S. military hits 97 (Oct. 27)
October death toll for troops in Iraq: 98 (Oct. 28)
Slain Marine pushes Oct. death toll to 99 (Oct. 30)
October death toll in Iraq tops 100 (Oct. 31)
Month’s death toll for U.S. in Iraq rises to 101 (Oct. 31)
October U.S. death toll in Iraq hits 103 (Oct. 31)
My guess is, they’re not going to want to “start back over” at 1 tomorrow. I anticipate they’ll keep this disgusting count going till election day.
