CNN.com - U.S. deaths in Iraq, war on terror surpass 9/11 toll - Sep 3, 2006

As the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attack on the United States approaches, another somber benchmark has just been passed.

The announcement Sunday of four more U.S. military deaths in Iraq raises the death toll to 2,974 for U.S. military service members in Iraq and in what the Bush administration calls the war on terror.

The 9/11 attack killed 2,973 people, including Americans and foreign nationals but excluding the terrorists. The 9/11 death toll was calculated by CNN.

hmmm... google translator says "Follow up Driaft Fail Pa opposite problem pulling the board Namah Chamma der fastest time reading and Brrsi mi Sood "

I'm fairly certain that is not what it says!

Quite the way to put this supposed war in a different light.

It stunning how Bush continues to get away with this war.

this is one of the saddest statistics i've seen, in a world full of sad statistics. having a personal moment of silence. join me, if you will.

And that is the total for Iraq, how many died in Afghanistan as well?

Boy, we really showed them ter'rist's! We'll show you mofos how to kill Americans! Yeehaw!

I think the figure included Afghanistan.

The moral of the story:

More people have died trying to punish those responsible for the death of the innocent in 9/11... and you should now ask... Is the war still worth it? You can't stop terrorism by killing people, you stop terrorism by peace!

US Military deaths. If you factored in civilian deaths in Iraq you would of long surpassed that number.

I always wondered why Americans get a hang up on Americans dying but if anyone else dies its generally ignored until it reaches a large number.

Also why are we comparing figures in this way? Why not compare it against Heart Disease? More Americans died from that. No War on Heart Disease. I guess its harder to piss away money to your friends in business that route compared to the military.

Al Stuart,

This is what I got from a program I use - "[dryaaft] [faayl] center [baa] opposite shaper tightening as for his developing back smelled revolves his time hurried of beginnings and [brrsy] [my] [shwd]."

Hope that helps :-)

And officially 9/11 has no connection with the Iraq war whatsoever.
