Re: Persons killed in Iraq
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I think he's talking about those who died from combat-related injuries, not those who died in accidents. Just a guess. [/ QUOTE ] This sounds right, though it would make his statement incorrect. [/ QUOTE ] His early statement is not just American troops, but Iraqis too, and it's probably way on the low side.

[/ QUOTE ] Which is the honest thing to do, since we really have no way of knowing precisely how many Iraqis have died. Hell, libs can't even nip at him for picking a lower, better looking number..

[/ QUOTE ] Good link, but his number is more consistent with the lower figure they give, because that just lists civilian casualties, while Bush was giving an estimate for the total number of persons killed altogether. (Which is not a criticism of his figure, just a comment on your comment.)
