To add insult to injury, Bush claimed that Iraqis are willing to be maimed or killed in the pursuit of freedom – a freedom where fatalities have resulted in approximately, ‘four 9/11’s every month! Given the U.S. population is about ten times that of Iraq, this is equivalent to about 80,000 U.S. fatalities each month.

this is the most recent Pentagon report; it's not a bed of roses in Iraq - - we are truly in a mess, with no easy way to stay, or pull out. Americans have been duped again by a duplicitous presidential administratioin; will we ever learn? Web Link

I went to "Iraq Body Count" on the web. It states that the estimated amount of Iraqi deaths so far in the "war" is between 44000 and 49,000. This is certainly a far cry from 600,000. Iraq Body Count seems to be somewhat liberal in its leaning, so it seems that it would be in their best interests to give the highest number they could come up with.
I think that someone is lying (as usual).
I find it disgusting that the truth is in the hands of mass media which has its own agenda.
I am neither left nor right. I want the truth!!!!!!!!!!1
