Guarded optimism in April and May Iraq war casualties
April saw 52 U.S. soldiers killed, the deadliest month since September, while May brought 21 deaths the second-lowest monthly total. Iraqi casualties fell from 1,080 in April to 532 in May as offensives in three cities and a Baghdad truce coincided with a U.S. troop drawdown toward pre-surge levels. The Iraqi army exceeded 500,000 troops, but officials warn against reading too much into short-term lulls. May offers cautious hope for faster withdrawal if stability persists.
