Here's a site that keeps track of coalition casualties (death and injury):
http://icasualties.org/oif/
This is a site that keeps track of Iraqi civilian deaths:
http://www.iraqbodycount.org/
George Bush has not gone to ONE military funeral. Not ONE. I am sure he feels no remorse. I am equally sure that no one he personally knew has died in Iraq (or any other war).
No WMD's were ever found.
As to terrorists....well, they say everyone in Guantanamo is a terrorist but they've never had a trial. What does that make US?
Halliburton is doing swell.
Iraq's oil:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2004-10-05-iraqi-oil_x.htm
We got rid of one ruthless dictator (who was in power because of past US support) who had thumbed his nose at George's daddy. Of COURSE it wasn't worth it. The deaths, the expense (the deficit clock is spinning like Linda Blair's head), and the destruction of a whole country's infrastructure and society...egad. No wonder they all hate us.

There are genuine statistics accounted for US armed forces deployed in Iraq, since the very start. Including the wounded. All covert and other missions that are considered Top Secret, are not, because these never happened of coarse. There are web-sites that provide ...need to know, public records for this.
The suicide(s) that occur directly related to this war, or any previous war, are reported. But in a delicate way, and are considered private. This is to protect the family's who have suffered enough already. In addition, absolute proof is required to connect suicide death(s) to war related casualties.
I personally know some, who are being treated now, to help prevent this, including depression,etc.
Anyone with a conscience, which would include Bush, have remorse. To what degree? Unknown. I can not judge Bush, or the terrorists on this subject. Although, I feel the latter (ter.'s) may have less remorse, simply because they're more zealous in killing for the sake of hatred towards the US.
Iraqi deaths can't be reported adequately, they don't have a cenus system to provide such information in an exact manner.
Consider the nomands.
Oil? This is just gravy, there are more spoils to gain from this war than the average citizen can even imagine.
The monetary value and benifits, are yet to be seen. Then, I doubt very much if the profits,reports, and other gains will ever be reported, much less posted to the public. It's also, too complicated to understand. But I suspect billions of dollars, are shuffeled around, and this info is floating out there in cyber-space somewhere.
Worth it? NO.

The link below will give the number of combat deaths, non-combat deaths, wounded and returned to duty within 72 hours and wounded and not returned to duty within 72 hours. And those figures will be for both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan). The first thing you will immediately realize is that the media reports a figure of all deaths. Not just those which are combat-related.
As for figures of dead terrorists, that is 18,832 through the end of September 2007. As for the oil, 85% of Iraqi oil is under contract to a French firm (Compagnie Petrol De Francais) and has been for many years, including those years when Iraq was ruled by Hussein's Ba'athist regime.
Some residuals of chemical weapons were found. But the WMD issue is not one of the main reasons for Congress authorizing military offensive operations against Iraq. Those reasons can be found in the second link below.

That just really brings me down thinking of it. On McGlaughlin Report they often say the Iraqi casualites in the hundreds of thousands. Most other media only report the US casualties as just under 4000 dead and 80 000 injured. As if they are the only people that matter, not the Iraqis. Blackwater is benefitting a lot.

Saddam Hussein killed hundreds of thousands, you just didn't hear about it on the news everynight and it wasn't a concern of liberal conspiracy theorists.
http://www.iraqfoundation.org/news/2003/ajan/27_saddam.html
You should also note that oil prices are now at record highs and Saddam would have gladly sold the US all the oil it wanted had we lifted the sanctions while he was in power.

I doubt that anyone knows the real number. We're all being spoon-fed BS on a daily basis.
