I haven’t written about Iraq in some time, being focused on other issues of the “season”. However checking in with CNN shows us that over 1500 American troops have been killed since we went into Iraq. Estimates on how many Iraqi’s killed ranges from 5000 to over 100,000. The Department of Defense conventiently does not track civilian/enemy deaths, one must find estimates from other sources that may or may not be considered reliable.
In other news, articles about Iraq show up (ironically) on the war on terror web site operated by the United States military.
