The Associated Press’s obsession with “significant” numbers and “grim milestones” produces one of their most vile articles ever: U.S. deaths in Iraq exceed 9-11 count.

They’ve obviously been watching and waiting for this magic number, to file a report like this—an empty-headed, amoral attempt to equate things that are not equivalent, serving a sick, anti-American left-wing agenda. Disgusting and ghoulish beyond belief.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military death toll in Iraq has reached 2,974, one more than the number of deaths in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States, according to an Associated Press count on Tuesday.

The U.S. military announced the deaths of two soldiers in a bomb explosion southwest of Baghdad on Monday.

The deaths raised the number of troops killed to 2,974 since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003. The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks claimed 2,973 victims in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

Write to the Associated Press and tell them what you think about this.

UPDATE at 12/26/06 1:53:24 pm:

The article has been silently rewritten.
