Iraq Casualty Count as of 2100 EST, 12/21/2004

As I was updating these totals, I was thinking about the Iraqis/Islamic terrorists who did this. Yes, they are monsters, but understandable. They hate us, either because we invaded and destroyed their country, or because of our policy toward Israel and the Palestinians, or what have you… understandable.

I think I’m more angry at Bush and his gang than at the perpetrators. The men and women who died are George’s victims as much as the bomber’s.

Nonetheless, a terrible day: at least 19 more men and women dead. 64 American men and women have died this month; 1185 since the “Mission Accomplished” sign was hung on the aircraft carrier; 1325 since Bush’s “war” began.

There have been 1475 total allied deaths. 9,844 American men and women have been wounded, 78 this past week. These data come from Iraq Coalition Casualties who can use our financial support.

Tens of thousands of Iraqi men, women, and children have been killed and the Iraqi infrastructure has been virtually destroyed.
