Follow the tactics of Mao Zedong: If you can retreat, retreat, give up the land to the enemy. Land can be regained, but if you fight and lose men, you lose men and land.

"of the 158,000 U.S. military shipped to Iraq"
With the rotations, there must have been far more US troops through Iraq than that. Isn't 158,000 just the highest total in Iraq at one time?
Until the US mil publishes the names of every soldier they shipped to Iraq, and where they are now (in a way that can be statistically verified) I'm still not going to believe a word they say.
9,000 dead, 16,000 wounded and 5,500 deserted? Whats the bet all of these figures are still far short of reality?

I read somewhere on the net that there are atleast 50,000 usa pigs dead /wounded . So the actual no could be higher . If u calculate min USA Pigs killed on avg/ day now is 30 multiply by no of days in 2 years .so dead will come to 20,000 CRUSADERS. That is minimum figure.
I also read on a website that usa suffered 6,000 dead ( casualties) in first year alone in Afghanistan/these were secretely taken to Jacobabad ,Pakistan and then th Greek Cyprus.

"U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to German hospitals have not previously been counted. They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005."

I see a sea of white crosses that could number in the hundreds if not thousands, in a stretch of sand that could be Iraqi.
I also see in the background a high wall reinforced at intervals, behind which one can see the roofs of buildings and a pole, with either a lamp or a flag.
What is this location, and where is it?

The actual figure of dead Usreal is NOT that important....
FACT IS
1.THEY HV LOST THE WAR MILITARILY N ECONOMICALLY
2.USREAL hv lost the hearts n minds of the majority of the 1.2 billion muslims ( i hv muslim friends who use to 'admire' USA , now they are willing to die and kill USreal)
3.There is another treat looming to Us ie Brazil-china-india-russia
and this will finish off US and US will no longer be United ,it will disintegrate like the former soviet...bush cheney rice n the other neocons will laff all the way to the bank' and I too will join laughing at the STUPID YANKEES
JOIN THE MARINES AND DIE FOR ISRAEL

Don't forget about the U.S. mercenaries, also known as "civillian contractors."
There is also the deaths of CIA spooks that are not counted.
Yes, the official figure is certainly false. Famillies whose sons were wounded in Iraq but who died in Germany or elsewhere outside of Iraq can be told that their sons' names did not appear on any lists of soldiers killed in Iraq becauase, officially, they did not die in Iraq.
Also, don't forget about green card soldiers in the U.S. military whose deaths do not have to be reported.
Yes, the 1,700 count is definitely understated.

The official figure of U.S. deaths in Afghanistan is probably also hypodeflated.
"Hypodeflated." I made just that up. :)
Also important to consider is the huge financial burden that the war is inflicting on the USA.
About $5 billion a month in Iraq and $2 billion a month in Afghanistan are being spent. This comes at a time when the U.S. is under pressure from twin deficits and a high price of oil.
Also consider the international economic boycotts that the world is inflicting against the U.S. as punishment for the illegal and imorral war.
In the midst of the deficits, high price of oil, costly war, international boycotts, the U.S. is about to enter into a trade war with the EU over Airbus and Boeing subsidies.
Meanwhile, GM is recalling Saturn automobiles and new job openings are falling again in the USA.
It seems to me that even if the U.S. is somehow able to get some people into their government that actually care about U.S. interests and the U.S. people, it will still take decades for the U.S. to recover from the damage that Bush and company have unleashed against the USA.
Not only is the USA losing economically and militarily, but politically as well. Now that it is well known that the war was waged on false pretexts, U.S. political credibillity has dropped below zero.
Meanwhile, Iran, N Korea, Cuba, Syria, Venezuela, China, and Russia are becoming stronger and stronger.

To think the US mil. is being honest to you about their dead is just astounding stupidity. No fighting force will ever admit the true extent of its losses for damn obvious reasons. How are the US civvies going to know the full extent of their Govt's lies about casualties. ? They dont have the capacity to go around the country doing a poll. No. The 'we are proud of our son for helping the iraqi people get democracy' (LOL & *spit*) public will believe everything their shitty govt says.

The US troops have body armor that reduces injury and results in fewer casualties. Iraqi Partisans do not.

... in the U.S.A., it sure has a lot of white crosses. I can't say how many but it could be a few thousand. Is it an anti-war protest? There are a couple of civilians tending the crosses.
It would be great if IraqWar.mirror-world could give us the location and the purpose of this cemetary, or imitation cemetary.

Judge wants to question U.S. troops on Iraq deaths By Daniel Trotta
A Spanish judge wants to question three U.S. soldiers as suspects in the death of a Spanish cameraman who was killed when a U.S. tank fired on a hotel housing foreign journalists during the 2003 assault on Baghdad.
"It would be a very, very cold day in hell before that would ever happen," said a State Department official, who asked not to be named.
The Pentagon has found no fault with the soldiers, but High Court Judge Santiago Pedraz wants to question the three men who were in the tank, a court official said on Tuesday.
Telecinco cameraman Jose Couso and Reuters cameraman Taras Protsiuk died and several other people were injured by a shell fired on the Palestine Hotel in the Iraqi capital on April 8, 2003, in the U.S.-led war to topple Saddam Hussein.
The Spanish court would only have jurisdiction in the death of the Spanish citizen.
The soldiers would be questioned as suspects for murder and for crimes against the international community, which carry sentences of 15 to 20 years in jail and 10 to 15 years respectively.
Pedraz on Tuesday agreed to send a request for U.S. cooperation in the investigation, but he is still only in the initial stages of the criminal investigation and several steps away from bringing charges.
Pedraz's investigation stems from a complaint brought by the Couso family.
Legal sources say the U.S. Army is unlikely to grant access to the soldiers, and if the case ever got far enough to warrant arrests the soldiers could only be arrested in Spain.
The judge is willing to travel to the United States to take their statements, the court official said.
"I just cannot imagine how any U.S. soldier can be subject to some kind of foreign proceeding for criminal liability when he is in a tank in a war zone as part of an international coalition," the State Department official added.
A Pentagon report on the incident concluded U.S.-led forces bore "no fault or negligence."
The Pentagon released a brief summary of the report in August 2003, which ruled that American forces acted "in an appropriate manner" when they fired into the hotel, but the full report was classified.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists obtained the 52-page report under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act and said it strengthened its own finding that the hotel shelling could have been avoided. (Additional reporting by Saul Hudson in Washington)
