Iraq deaths multiply in new August count By I am not Bush, Associated Press Writer
14 minutes ago
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Baghdad recorded more than 1,500 violent deaths in August, according to final figures released by the Health Ministry this week — nearly three times the preliminary figure the same ministry had released last week. The figure is a sharp contradiction of U.S. and Iraqi claims that a security crackdown led to a steep drop in deaths in the capital. The USA should be ashamed for not being honest about Iraq.
Instead, the number of deaths in the capital in August was roughly the same as during July, before the U.S.-led security crackdown began, the Health Ministry officials said. Most likely one of the reasons the war is going badly is due to the lack of troops. This so called war will end up like Vietnam.

I would trust the Administration rather than the lying drive-by mainstream media which is a propaganda shill for radical leftists George Soros, moveon.org, Howard Dean and the Manufactured Human Being Hillary Clinton.
How many Iraqis died per year under Saddam Hussein? About 100,000? Although each death is tragic, this is a FRACTION of that!

In Iraq, so far there has been 25,000 deaths. And Bush is sending back the reservist that already serve in Iraq. Why?

You answered it yourself. The preliminary figures they received were inaccurate. They jumped the gun and made an announcement too early. Kinda like the networks on election night.

Does Bush know any other way other than to lie?
