The cost of Bush's war/occupation

(Just reported by BBC online)

The Associated Press reports that as of Tuesday, June 21, at least 1,724 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003. At least 1,319 died as a result of hostile action.

The British military has reported 89 deaths; Italy, 25; Ukraine, 18; Poland, 17; Spain, 11; Bulgaria, 12; Slovakia, three; Estonia, Thailand and the Netherlands, two each; and Denmark, El Salvador, Hungary, Kazakhstan and Latvia one death each.

Since May 1, 2003, when President Bush declared that major combat operations in Iraq had ended, 1,585 U.S. military members have died.

(I am presently trying to find an update on the number of Iraqi deaths in the wake of the Lancet study fhat found 100,000 Iraqis had been killed.)
