re: That's all of them......civilians, insurgents, police and soldiers. Man, I think that is WAY low. They were talking 10K civilians... and they were talking about how great they were in their precision attacks, only killing military, limiting civilian casualties. I don't think that number of 10k was ever just civilians. So now we are saying civilian / military casualties are a ratio of about 1 to 1?!? Don't you remember......the Iraqi army mostly defected? There was a ground war there, there was shock and awe, are we saying we only killed a couple of 1000 Iraqi military? Out of a military of well over 1 million? What's up with that? It doesn't pass the smell test. I've never heard anyone say the death toll was much more than 10-20k. But given your reaction, maybe I am being unfair with my cousin. ted
