Quote of the Day
“We don’t do body counts.”
- General Tommy Franks, US Central Command
On the other hand, An estimated 13,000 Iraqis, including as many as 4300 non-combatants, were killed during the major combat phase of the war in Iraq, a research group found in a study published yesterday.
...
The study, authored by Carl Coneta, found that deaths of Iraqi civilians who did not take up arms in the fighting was as high or higher than in the 1991 Gulf War despite advances in precision weaponry. From yesterday's Herald Sun.
More war stats: At least 416 Coalition forces have been killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom. 363 from the US and 51 from the UK, 1 from Denmark and 1 from Spain.
238 have died since the war Officially ended May 1. 223 from the US and 13 from the UK, 1 from Denmark and 1 from Spain. From this site.
The total US wounded in Iraq since March 20th: 2084, or an average of 9 per day.
Well, whoever Gen. Franks was referring to may not keep track of how many people have suffered and died as a result of this war, but there are a lot of us out there who will.
