Is 2260 U.S. soldiers dead an acceptable number for this war in Iraq?

Yea Shure Right lets try to set a new record. does the prez get a fluffy toy if we set a new record? if that is the goal to kill our troops why bother sending them so far? we could just ship them 500 feet off shore and sink the ship? or fly them into the remaining buildings of New York. Even better we could hire bin laden to just shoot our troops.\nAnd our next prez will have to set a even bigger high score. where next Canada.\nOh one more thing. It suckes that even one of our fine men and women died, but if you think 2260 is a number to high to pay for anyones freedoms on earth then you should start fighting your real foe The Automobile, now that kills

Throw in the false death figures, tell about the 100,000 Iraqi and Afghan's deaths. That should cover about 10 minutes of time for a debate.

I think the official count stands at just around 22,000 injured, maimed, or permanently disabled (in addition to more than 2,800 dead). And George W. Bush has the audacity to CUT military veterans' benefits while he so hypocritically "honors" their service to the country! Notice he didn't cut any of Rumsfeld's perks or benefits.                                                       -RKO-

Estimates vary and are continously raised as more Iraqis come forward.  Some estimates exceed 6 million civilians during his official reign depending on if one counts the WMDs used on the Kurds and the destruction of the Shia in Basera and the sounthern wetlands areas, but even these don't take into account his hienous actions before becomming dictator.  A reference point for estimating how many people died would be that US Troops found %50 of Iraqis knew of, or were related to, someone Saddam killed throughout his life.\n\nBut we are still digging up mass graves and trying to ID bodies....  He didn't do what the Serbs did and use a saugsage factory to grind the poor victims up, which makes counting bodies easier (I don't mean that to sound callous, but after seeing that site in Brcko, Serbia I was sick beyond belief) but he did things equally as cruel.  Things his paternal uncle, a NAZI ally in WWII would have loved just as much.  His son, Uday, used a printing press or some other type of double roller press to crush victims feet first, and then there was the electic shock rooms filled partially with water, and the underground prisons were he kept children as leverage against their families (UK found them), and the list goes on, and on, and on.  \n\nSo trying to do the forensic analysis is difficult, as is getting an accurate count of bodies.

In the 1991 war, 382 died and 467 were wounded in some fashion.\n\nIn the 2003 war and the following occupation, 2,325 died and 17,467 were wounded in some fashion.\n\n\nThat's not bad at all.

Its probably exagerated figure, the estimate is about 150.000 before the destruction of Fallujah..\n\n189-190 000 is a more accurate figure..regardless of the accurate figures, The war or iraq is a gratuitous act of barbarism upon one of the most helpless people\n\nThe american people who voted for Georges Bush should also bear responsiblity for these crimes..As a Canadian I cannot show more disgust.\n\n\n\nThis said I would like to point out to the neo-fascists warmongerer below that Bush that Bush is closer to nazims than you think; specially look at the last link, note, I have no reason to lie to you, I am not the government\n\nSRH look at this :\nChickenhawk\n\nhttp://66.230.230.110/geeklog/public_html/staticpages/index.php?page=20040602034902878\n\nReagan and Bush\nhttp://web.takebackthemedia.com/geeklog/public_html/staticpages/index.php?page=20040618050418549\n\nFascism\nttp://www.tbtmradio.com/geeklog/public_html/staticpages/index.php?page=2004060321522468\n\nBush family trade with nazis:\nhttp://web.takebackthemedia.com/geeklog/public_html/article.php?story=20040603030134634&query=nazi\n\nhmm better another flash video..\n\nhttp://www.tbtmradio.com/geeklog/public_html/staticpages/index.php?page=20040606194007963\n\nNats you are really complacent on the death of others:\nAmerican soldiers should desert. refuse to kill people. period.\n\nA bit more on Bushites..\nhttp://www.tbtmradio.com/geeklog/public_html/staticpages/index.php?page=20040606194007963\n\nThis forRock Hunter below..\n\nBush is no Nazi so stop calling him that!\n\nhttp://www.takebackthemedia.com/bushnonazi.html

We have had 47 Military killed this month alone in Iraq. Iraq is in the middle of a civil war we started and it isn't going to be over until we are kicked out, and we will be.\n\nRemember Vietnam?  I do. I was there. How many more would you like to lose in Iraq? Another 25,000?
760550
What does it matter if it was 10 or 6000000...The fact is the war is based on a lie...perhaps its true most of the killing is Muslim against Muslim but we put put the fuel on the fire because we were told by experts that this is exactly what was going to happen! We did not listen and some of us are still not !\nWhen will it stop?..When the American people take to the streets and say no more killing in our name!!\n\nI also hope that some Americans stop harassment of our foreign\nvisitors when they have a grammar or spelling mistake....There is often more courage in their questions than our Answers!

Dave there you go again.\nThe 100.000+- dead Iraqis and 4.000 dead coalition troops mostly died at the hands of Al Qaeda's indiscriminatre slaughter of civilians and an insurgency furthering the political aims of countries like Syria and Iran, add in parts of the secret services of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.\nThe war isn't going well but maybe they would rather fight over there than come and attack us here.\nSo that makes us safer no?\nDebate can make you smile insults just rile.\nPs i need points to get my rating so this must qualify as best answer?

2500 GIs deserved better than to be sent to die for "He tried to kill muh Dad," WMD lies, and geopolitical control of a foreign subcontinent.\n\n"Hearing of 9/11" (poster below me) is irrelevent. Iraq played no role in that event. None of the 19 participants were Iraqi, or had ever once in their lives set foot in Iraq. Iraqis should not have had to pay in blood for a crime they had no involvement in whatsoever.

In 2005 846 coalition forces died, meaning that there were roughly 56 deaths per 100,000 military personnel. By contrast, there were, according to preliminary figures 16,475 murders in the US, meaning there were 5.56 murders per 100,000 people.

I have to agree with everyone else where have you been, I died there myself.  Everyday since I know the sins I committed and await my judgement.  The Republicans are willing to sacrifice another 58,000 in Iraqi for their oil.  But personally I hate to see anyone killed a soldier questions not but dies for their country.  What most of these right wingers do not realize is these "terrorist" as they call them are another person hero.  \n\nTo the Gettysburg Ghost you need to learn to read.  You Yankees can do that can't you? The Confederate strength, known less accurately because of missing records, was from 750,000 to 1,250,000. Total losses 258,000 .  The Union armies had from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 men. Their losses, 360,222. \nI would suggest you listen to the song "I am a Good Rebel" he is right we did not kill enough of you!\nGod Bless You the Questioner and the SOUTHERN PEOPLE!

if it is ......... THEN THIS WAR WILL AT LEAST HAVE A REASON! 2837 us soldiers wouldn't have wasted their lives for nothing

I wonder how many dead US soldiers you would have thought were 'acceptable' before we pulled out of WWII?  We could just mow Iraq down and turn it into a potato field (this was suggested with Germany after WWII).\n\nInflamatory questions such as this do not really get to the heart of the debate.

I'm not sure that we know. The sources I found said that 30,000 people died, but there are "no detailed records."
