Iraq Debate is Sea of Statistics

The AP reports the Iraq debate is sea of statistics. This graph says it all:



"The report used the defense intelligence's countrywide figures to conclude that the average number of daily attacks against civilians has remained 'about the same' during the past six months."

"The auditors could not determine if sectarian violence had declined since the start of the president's troop increase. The agency's findings are contentious because the Bush administration and military officials in Iraq have said security has improved over the same period due to the additional 30,000 U.S. troops in Baghdad and other trouble spots."
