US military deaths in Iraq pass 1,000


US military deaths in the Iraq campaign passed 1,000 today, as clashes with both Sunni and Shiite insurgents killed seven Americans in the Baghdad area.

The count includes 998 US troops and three civilian contractors killed while working for the Pentagon.

The tally was compiled by the Associated Press based on Pentagon records, AP reporting from Iraq, and reports from soldiers’ families.

how many iraqis have been killed?

The most recent estimation I heard was 18,000. But I have no way of verifying that.

and after they're done doing that, they should launch some of those so called "wmd's" over towards Tehran and take out some of that scum.

now lets be serious....

you may dissagree with the invasion into Iraq in the first place,
but with the currect situation,
dont you think that if Iraqis stop showing ressistance, the situation will get better for everyone?
because you know yourself, that as soon the situation calms down, USA would be glad to get 95% of its forces out of there.

because if they FUCK them up their asses like you suggest, Muktada Saadar or whatever will run Iraq as an Fundamentalistic Islamic Regeime... and until it happens tens of thousends of people will be killed and tens of millions will suffer

i Guess stuff like that makes you feel realy happy inside...

Don't you think if the US ends its occupation there will come and end to resisting the occupation?

Yes, but not an end to the violence. In fact the violence will increase, and just as it did in Vietnam after the US pulled out, many, many more people will die.

Oh, and calling the Americans "terrorists" is really stupid.

If another country's national army (or any military outfit) invaded your country, enforced their rules on you and killed thousands of your fellow citizens what would you refer to them as?

Who's stupid now, stupid?

no, there will come anarchy.

look its pretty simple,
USA started all this mess, so it is obligated to stay there
until things are calmed down and some sort of normal goverment takes things under control.

the only other reason that will make USA get out of there is if the Veitnamm story repeats, which means some more tens of thousends of dead people.
thats what the Cyrus King wishes for.

They would be occupiers, not terrorists. I am willing to bet that insurgents have killed way more innocent iraqis than American troops have. They light off a car bomb every day against their own people.
