For it to be an 'attack' the blocks have to be blank, and not contain any tx. Therefore every block the number of confirms goes down one.

This is confused.

Fixed it a bit.

It's just more clearly confused now. The confirmation count is the number of blocks following when the transaction was initially confirmed. Every block implicitly confirms all prior in its chain because you couldn't have creates that block without processing all prior ones. Leaving transactions out has nothing to do with it... the effect of leaving transactions out is only that new transactions won't start getting confirmations.
