it has been reported on yahoo! news that the number of US troops that have been killed as a result of this so-called war on terror has far exceeded the total number of americans that were brutally attacked on september 11, 5 years ago.
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The deaths of six more American soldiers in Iraq pushed the U.S. death toll to at least 2,978 -- five more than the number killed in the September 11 attacks -- as bombs killed more than 20 people in Baghdad on Tuesday.
At least 89 U.S. soldiers have died so far this month, making it the deadliest this year after October's toll of 106, and adding pressure on President George W. Bush to find a strategy to extricate 135,000 US troops from the messy war.
the question i wanted to ask is whether this latest statistic coming out of iraq is a fair and legitimate assessment of the iraq war so far. what will be of bush and blair's legacy in all of this? how worse can it get come into the new year? & what do you make of this current crisis?
