U.S. spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said there has been an average of 34 attacks a day against U.S. and Iraqi forces in the capital over the past five days. The daily average for the period June 14 until July 13 was 24 a day, he said.
The General noted, "We have not witnessed the reduction in violence one would have hoped for in a perfect world."
OK, call me a cockeyed optimist, but I, personally, would have hoped for no violence at all in a perfect world. In fact, no war. I mean, wouldn't that be perfect?
Of course if you're a general maybe you'd think it more perfect to have a little war now and then, nothing too dangerous but enough to keep a hand in, so to speak.
