US military toll in Iraq hits 4000

[THEATARIS]

u can have SO much fun ... with me m

[urlocalSAVAGE]

This has gone way too unnoticed. We need to worry more about the 30,000+ dead iraqi civilians. Not combatants, civilians. Women and children and innocent men victims of an illegal occupation and some how they're terrorists and we're "liberators"

[bludrums]

American deaths caused by the Iraq war are over 8 thousand. The government doesn't count deaths out of Iraq. Only deaths on the field. Not deaths from soldiers sent to hospitals outside Iraq. This is as of last year (2007) so the figures are probably low.

From the start of Clinton's term to the end, the DOW went up over 300% & if I pulled out my money I could buy 3 times as much.

Under Bush the DOW has been relatively flat & if I pulled out my money it'd buy only 1/2 as much -- the price of gas, milk, bread, fresh fruits & vegatables, meat & electricity have all more than doubled in costs.

Futhermore, under Clinton the unemployment rate went to 3.8% -- a rate Bush has only been able to dream about -- millions more unemployed at Bush's rate.

[tangoscottt786]

what prosperity, gas price is over 3 dollars, everyone i know is not feeling prosperous. you are another brainwashed fucking idiot.

stop blaming foreigners, start blaming your own fucking greedy idiots.

[cooll6]

I cant believe you fucking idiots are arguing over the number of people killed or severely injured. it hurts to read these comments. peace

[oldhacks]

cmon guys. the number is more like 12,000 including the mercenaries and contractors killed.

[oldhacks]

its 4,001 now after today.

Died of Self-Inflicted wounds 145

wounded 29,314 <- modern medicine saved these peoples lives other wise we'd have the same numbers we had in vietnam. They will forever be disabled physically and mentally though.

the 2008 election should be boycotted.

[RationalLiberty]

no the world should decide our election (write ins for Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich)

[PleiadianDreams]

I support the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights & Human Rights and so should you, least thing you can do is educate the General Public about Impeachment.

[lilshorty9856]

o my god.... nobody seems to notice that even though 4000 us troops have died ,hundreds of thousands of terrorists have died,compared to all the wars america has been in, this one is like a stroll through the park..

[lilshorty9856]

also i agree with gordonwalton

[elitepandabear]

that mny terrorist? good. fuck al queada and taliban up the ass troops

[dubaigaygirl]

that is easily the most ignorant comment on this board.

the toll is closer to 50-65,000 thousand soldiers.

this is common knowledge in the Middle East. and as usual in the USA you will never hear the truth, until 10 years down the line, just as with the other wars.

Stroll in the park. Sure. Come on over .....or go visit your local amputee vet clinic and say that outloud.

good luck with that.

[abram730]

So you pay for it shorty... How about we have a tax only for those that are for the war... Got a trillion in your bank you can spare?

[GordonWalton]

Ron Paul *always* talks about ending the war.

[greenbean1984]

ah man, it really pisses me off when people say x amount of US soldiers have died.

i doesn't matter where you're from, everyone who has died in the iraq war is a human and should be counted.

[quixoto]

That's true, but the fact is they haven't been keeping track of all the dead Iraqis so it's impossible to give any amount more accurate than a guess.

[greenbean1984]

yea, but thats exactly what im talking about. they should also be counting (or at least trying to count) all deaths. in the news they don't even mention the iraqi deaths.

if i think about it long enough it brings me to tears to think of the iraqi children who should be out playing football but instead have had there legs blown off and have had there lives ruined all because dick cheney.

[DVincentW]

Its shillish of one to critiscize, from say, Great Britain, when their leader is just much of a euro-grabber as pres Butch.

Yes More than a million Iraqis have been murdered, and its even possible that some attacks are 'false flag' in Iraq.

The war is meant to be sustained, throw stones at my words.

Poop on Americans.Not all of us are arses.

We quibble in a comment thread.Making retorts with six exclamation points, one is suffcient.Someone believes in peace, yet argues with fisted words.

[Hendo1974]

The make a noise about the dead soldiers but easily overlook how many innocent cilivians the yanks have killed in their shock and awe bombing campaigns and the death toll is still rising as I'm typing this comment! How many families lives been destroyed in Iraq? This is fucked up!!!!!!!! All just for fucking oil!!!!!!

[dubaigaygirl]

the toll is over 10 -25 times higher than 4000 people...wake up.  Everyone in the MIDDLE EAST knows this, why don't you?

[cocodapitbull]

it makes me sick to see how they make a big fuss about how many us soldiers have died. like soldiers aren't meant to die. oh yeah if theyre americans then its not right. right? why don't you make a video of how many innocent iraqis have died at americas hands. how many children have died? how many women and elderly people have died directly or indirectly because of americans? huh. answer that shit to me. stop being biased fuckers and give both sides of the story! and stop spreading the iran shit

[xkled]

thats crazy man..
