Iraq by the numbers

Another pissed off veteran, Farnsworth68 at One Pissed Off Veteran, with some stats for you:
Total American dead in the Iraq Illegal Occupation: 2500 2513 2532 2540 2546 2558 2571 2585 2597 2605 2619 2641 2710 2737 2758 2788 2809 2826 2865 2888 2906 2959 3006 3018 3025 3067 3087 3118 3132 3151 3166 3189 3210 3233 3245 3266 3299 3316 3337 3358 3387 3409 3444 3504 3519 3546 3577 3592 3611 3631 3683 3705 3725 3738 3760 3780 3795 3823 3830 3838 3845 3866 3875 3881 3886 3891 3896 3908 3921 3926

Total coalition forces dead: 307
Total Iraqi Dead: 700,000+

You don't hear too much in the media about how we are approaching 4000 dead American kids in this illegal invasion and occupation. And you rarely ever hear anything about the deaths of Iraqis.

Its election time...
Not like these things are important, eh?


These numbers just don't sound good to those flag-pin wearing news boobs when they try to shape the view of the electorate in their push to keep control of the White House in an establishment candidates' control.

Happy talk about the change, that they report on with all of the skills of stenographer in full-tilt propaganda mode, which can even come from Republicans that still support the failed bush agenda of endless war and the only front-runners allowed on the Democratic party side, according to these fantastic analysts in the media with their surreal script, are the ones that toe the Iraq happy talk line.
