So this comes as no surprise, but what does surprise me is that no one wants the true number of american soldier dead! try 23,000! Can anyone get a real number or does anyone care? if americans knew that the death toll was five digits, we would be out of Iraq and PresBush would be out also! But who cares? A good friend of mine worked for the Pentagon and he told me the formula for depicting the dead. Bush has a black out on media coverage of dead and showing american dead bodies on TV. All Nicey nice! Mothers weep.................. It is the custom of our pentagon to add or deduct digits to suite their political needs.

Those who created this war did so for oil money. So, I guess why would they want to be honest about deaths. Anybody's death...unless it's someone they might care about. How senseless.

The Iraqi civilian deaths were ridiculously and obviously low (~1500 the first time, for a year of war!), but my requests for the source of these statistics went unanswered. If these are the stats the "liberal press" is touting, it's no wonder there's a shortfall in the body count.
