Making a dead soldier a part of McCain's nostrial is a little disrespectful if you ask me.

But powerful picture nevertheless.

4000 are just battlefield casualties
there have been over 800 SUICIDES. those are not counted
They also are not ounting soldiers who die from their wounds after arriving back at USA medical facilities, which amounts to around another 2 thousand.

fuck this bullshit war for oil

[!@#$%!]

chuck close?

---

anyway 4800 AMERICANS (including the suicides)

what about the 600,000 DEAD IRAQIS?

The whole fuss about the 4000 dead without mentioning the 1 million+ Iraqis killed, is why the world despises America.

Actually I said that as a joke. I find this kind of sick. Something about the smiling faces and that you can't really see the soldiers' faces.

I suppose it doesn't matter, but the reciprocating body-count is exactly what I first thought about when they announced this the other day...

during the few times that they've mentioned it on the news, nobody has said a word about how many other people died.

all in all, it's a lot of dead d00dz and a hell of a gruesome ratio.

nvm

more than one million iraqis dead. more than one million iraqi families have now a plausible excuse to hate the united states.
this war defeated a government harmless to the united states and created the motto for other terrorist groups like al-qaeda to surface.
way to figth terror, mr. bush.

mr. bush rejoices for starting a war under false pretentions and fooling other governments into it.
but the judge is not a couple of wealthy companies, a couple of electors, the american senate, a couple of governments, not even a court. the judge is time, and the history books will say that george w. bush was a malefactor.

[!@#$%!]

more than a million already?

do you realize that i read the newspaper every day and watch the news (the good news, pbs), and i wasn't aware of that figure?

that tells you about how fucked up and misinformed this country is.

One million Iraqis dead

topped 1mn, according to study. (Getty Images)

More than one million Iraqis have died because of the war in Iraq since the US-led
invasion of the country in 2003, according to a study published on Wednesday.

A fifth of Iraqi households lost at least one family member between March 2003 and
August 2007 due to the conflict, said data compiled by London-based Opinion Research
Business (ORB) and its research partner in Iraq, the Independent Institute for
Administration and Civil Society Studies (IIACSS).

The study based its findings on survey work involving the face-to-face questioning of
2,414 Iraqi adults aged 18 or above, and the last complete census in Iraq in 1997, which
indicated a total of 4.05 million households.

Respondents were asked how many members of their household, if any, had died as a result
of the violence in the country since 2003, and not because of natural causes.

"We now estimate that the death toll between March 2003 and August 2007 is likely to
have been in the order of 1,033,000," ORB said in a statement.

The margin of error for the survey was 1.7%, making the estimated range between 946,000
and 1.12 million fatalities.

The highest rate of deaths throughout the country occurred in Baghdad, where more than
40% of households had lost a family member.

According to a July 2007 estimate by the US, Iraq's population is around 27 million.

The country has been wracked by conflict since the March 2003 invasion which deposed
dictator Saddam Hussein, with UN estimates putting the number of displaced people from
the conflict at more than four million, nearly half of which have fled to neighbouring
countries.
