Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

August 11, 2007 – Saturday

1596 days into the war

U.S. MILITARY DEATHS IN IRAQ: 3684
U.S. MILITARY WOUNDED IN IRAQ: 27279

IRAQI CIVILIAN DEATHS
(MINIMUM): 69045
(MAXIMUM): 75495
(LANCET ESTIMATE) 600,000

COST OF THE WAR SO FAR (ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST MILLION): $451,067,000,000

Please note that the above figures, from the IBC website, are NOT estimates of total Iraqi civilians killed as a result of the US invasion and its aftermath. Rather, they are a count of Western-reported verifiable violent deaths, and likely to be a small percentage of the true figure. Les Roberts, author of the Lancet Report, believes the actual number may now be as high as 1,000,000.
