Answer 1

Last year the Lancet, a prestigious British medical journal, published the results of their Iraq mortality study, which covered the period from the beginning of the war in March, 2003, through the end of July, 2006. Their best estimate was that, up to that point, approximately 655,000 "excess" deaths had occurred in Iraq as a result of the war. Excess deaths are defined as those that are in addition to the deaths that would normally have occurred in the population over the same period.

Supporters of the war have criticized the Lancet's findings, claiming that their figure is way too high. Unfortunately for the critics, the Lancet's surveyors used standard epidemiological techniques to determine mortality, the same techniques that have been used in other conflicts where nobody questioned the numbers. There is no good reason to question the Lancet's numbers for Iraq, either.

The figures that dana mentions are from the Iraq Body Count website. These numbers include only those deaths that have been reported in the media. The IBC itself acknowledges that their numbers "cannot be considered to approach a complete and final toll of innocent deaths" (see link below).

Extrapolating based on the mortality rate as of mid-2006, when the Lancet's study ended, the death toll in Iraq is now probably in the neighborhood of 750,000, at least. And remember, the Lancet staff considered their number to be a conservative estimate; they acknowledged that the true number could actually be much higher.

But even if the number is closer to "only" the sixty-five or seventy thousand of the IBC (as of today), that's still a lot of people who died in a war that didn't have to be fought.

Are you talking about the women and children who the Rag Heads use for cover when they attack the troops, or the ones the Rag Heads kill as a sect elimination or the ones the Rag Heads kill in mis-directed street bombs or the ones the Rag Heads kill as suicide bombers or the ones the Rag Heads blame on the US troops?? Big difference!! USMC 60-68

Answer 4

Good question. Ask the liberals they are keeping track...no wait, they only keep track of the dead American soldiers.

The insurgents have killed/murdered thousands but not as many as Saddam murdered in a few years. He murdered thousands at a time.

A minimum of 59,720 and a maximum of 65,573 as of 25 March 2007

Answer 6

So many that the US government is too embarrassed to tell the public the truth.

Answer 7

last year the total was 600,000
