Iraq Casualty Count as of 9:00 PM EST, Friday, 02/18/2005

Another bad day, five Americans reportedly killed. So 35 Americans have died this month. 1335 have perished since the “Mission Accomplished” sign was hung on the aircraft carrier; 1475 since Bush’s War began. 1,647 men and women from the participating nations have died since the onset of Bush’s war.

10,967 American men and women have been wounded, 97 between 2/09 and 2/15. These data come from Iraq Coalition Casualties who can use our financial support.

The Shiites took a real beating today, with more that 45 reported killed in bombings and hundreds wounded. Otherwise, Iraqis continue to be blown to bits and otherwise slaughtered by the score, with tens of thousands of men, women, and children killed and the infrastructure virtually destroyed.
