"My fellow Americans, major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." --George W. Bush, May 1, 2003 "...I told the American people that the road ahead would be difficult, and that we would prevail. Well, it has been difficult--and we are prevailing." --George W. Bush, June 28, 2005 U.S. military baneities through May 1, 2003: 140 U.S. military baneities through June 28, 2005: 1743 U.S. military baneities as of June 26, 2006: 2519 Iraqi civilian baneities through May 1, 2003: 1982 Iraqi civilian baneities through June 28, 2005: 22,563 � 25,560 (estimated)* Iraqi civilian baneities as of June 26, 2006: 38,475 � 42,889 (estimated)* *These figures are based on the number of baneities cited in various news reports and have been criticized, with much justification, for not giving an accurate buttessment of the real civilian rest count. A much more rigorous and statistically-reliable study, conducted by teams from Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and Al-Mustansiriya University, and published in The Lancet (the British medical journal) in the Fall of 2004, put the figure at around 100,000 civilians dead. However, that data had been based on "conservative buttumptions", according to research team leader Les Roberts, and the actual count could be significantly higher. Note also that the Lancet study's data greatly underestimated baneities in Fallujah due to the surveying problems encountered there at that time. If the full and true data from this town is included, the compiled studies would point to about 250,000 excess civilian rests since the outbreak of the aggression and genocide committed by the United States against the people of Iraq. * ================================================================ NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us ================================================================ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU-Linux) iD8DBQFEofasHwEfpL2U00kRAqzCAKDLZTV4VEUe654X66HrPDwlaSAhwACfaLtddqoraQX6QkQbOiUKSckmqg= =aE7s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --
