How many U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq?

Question

This guy from Saudi Arabia says it is 40,000.

http://www.memritv.org/search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=1122#

The whole clip is interesting, but the number of U.S. dead comes up around the 3 minute and 40 second mark.

I know what the U.S. media is saying, and I believe them. This Muslim cleric is trying to get Saudis to think it is 40,000. He makes jokes about U.S. troops being thrown into the Euphrates and Tigris, and the fish getting fat from eating them. It is completely crazy to actually see what is on television news in the Middle East. From what they are telling them, it is no wonder they hate us.

Answer 1

it's actually closer to 3 or 4 thousand. the guy from saudi is lying to you.

but i dont think bush really cares, he is using those people for a fake war,what are the real benefeits for america from this war?nothing, iraq people didt do 9/11. they dont have chemicals weapons, what else? why the US troops still their?

Because, Bush and His gang are getting richer and richer every second the troops are their, and israel for sure,they r stealing oil killing people torturing raping , what else US didt do ?

I think u must not ask why arabs or muslims PEOPLE hates america because of this.

if u want real peace in the region u must deal with all the countries in equal. not it is okay for israel to have nuclear weapons, and it is forbidden for iran, and not u say we want free elections in palestine and when it happens and hamas came to the goverment then u change ur mind and say no.
