How many deaths ... - Page 2

Ironic how 250 people dying/wounded like that in other circumstances would considered a tragedy and terrorism. Personally, I hate how war makes that somehow acceptable and justifiable.

On topic...I think we will only get accurate numbers after it is over, from the Iraqi side that is.

No I believe his wording was '250 Civliains died in the bombing'. I assume he was talking about the Baghdad. I could be wrong though.

The grim reality of life is that freedom has a price. That price has always been, and always will be blood. For even though you may not be willing to your blood to defend your freedom, rest assured that there is always someone willing to spill your blood to take your freedom.
As Mel alluded to, all those that die in this conflict will have been granted the ultimate freedom.

Forgive me, I'm feeling mordibly philisophical at the moment.

We have at least that in common...

I've seen a picture of two dead iraqi soldiers in hole, one is headless, the other one is holding a white flag.

I've seen the true fear in the eyes of american soldiers captured and being interviewed.

I wish I was blind.

Today Iraqi TV is reporting 87 killed and over 400 wounded according to MSNBC. While I don't think there can be any accurate count at this time, I'm sure we can consider this to be a high ball figure.
