Every Sunday, The Binghamton Press publishes the new troop deaths within a one hundred mile radius of Binghamton in their paper. Every Sunday there are 10-20 listings.
At that rate, at least half of the 3000 U.S. troop deaths came from that region.

Considering that the Attorney General - Mr. Gonzales - is in danger of losing his job to lies and manipulation why would it be any different for the other branches under the sway of the neo-cons?

If a soldier is evacuated from Afghanistan or Iraq with a serious wound, are they counted? There's serious doubts about this.
Forget the deaths. How about the 50,000+ casualties? My brother is there right now. He was wounded, but returned to duty about a month later. He was lucky.
I went to see him in Germany when he was being treated. I saw many no-so-lucky troops. Men that were amputated a day or two ago awaiting return to the USA. Horribly mangled bodies. Some will die. Will they be counted? Some will live tortured lives of pain and neglect.
Do cons care? Nope. Then again, cons haven't seen the casualties of war. That would ruin their "beautiful minds". If these chicken hawks had to fight, it would never have happened.

the reason they have been sent to Iraq as a replace of Afghanistan is that there are UN infantrymen In Afghanistan. extra countries have invested infantrymen and money to the Afghan reason the place is they did no longer believe our stance in Iraq.

Never have and never will! If the American public knew the
actual count of the fatalities there would be some serious hell
raising. Then Bush would have to hide in the same spot Saddam used.

I am sure that this administration has lied about the number of troop deaths, just as they lie about the number of civilian casualties, too.
here's a rather compelling website that everyone, pro or con, should check out.

Of course they are.
the fighting in iraq is only taking place in 4 regions, about 20% of the country.

listen to these answers above.. "im sure he's lying",,, bla bla bla....
Quit the accusations, that is all you have, accusations. He has not lied, you can not prove he has lied. You base your entire attacks of bush being a liar on a document that can not be proven to be true, because the reporter "destroyed the original" (downing street memo).

You're right; Bush is lying (again as usual) and your paper has all the facts straight.
Impeach him.

i looked it up but the AP and everyone seems to be in agreement at around 3000, possible your newspaper is just reporting everyone, or in recent months a reserve unit from your area may be getting hard hit..only explanation i can come up with???

You could probably double that a few times and you might get closer to the real number.

Not exactly, but yes the results released are accurate.
