Yes 5,000 innocents killed, but this is only civilian deaths. I don't think it includes Iraqi military dead. Does the Pentagon count military dead of the Iraqis? I'm sure that the men fighting for Saddam were forced to fight or their families would be killed or tortured. It's more than conscription in Iraq. Sure you have your loyalists and Republican guard, but most of the Iraqi regulars are just kids with no other option. I'll bet the number of deaths this "urgent" war has caused is at least 10,000 total, military and civilian, American and Iraqi. When will enough be enough? Orca
