all fall down

We have finally surpassed 1900 American combat deaths in Iraq. That excludes, of course, the deaths that occurred after injured personnel were transported out of Iraq, but is nonetheless a milestone.

Dark W. Helmet has on many occasions stated that the "American armed forces will stand down as the Iraqi forces stand up."

Sure is beginning to look more like the American forces are just doing a lot of falling down and the Iraqi forces are mostly running away.
