1. How many total dead during the Bush administration. Not IN IRAQ but TOTAL.

2. How many total dead IN ACTION during the Clinton administration.

3. Where is the actual link to the actual report.

I don't think I believe that total losses for the military are as you state. The military obviously has losses not connected to Iraq- soldiers blown off aircraft carriers, pilots who crash, heart attacks- I would like to see the data you are using, because it seems to me that losses of service people during the Clinton years, mostly "normal" losses, would be additive to the larger losses we incur by a full scale war (so in that sense the number of men we are losing is larger than just those killed in Iraq- although no one really pays attention to that).

Your link does not work. Would you please post one which does, so I can fully examine your data?

First, your link does not work. Second, what happened to the 50,000 wounded Americans (most of them critically wounded and maimed for life) in Bush's Iraq war???

Just as I thought... more lies and hypocrisy by the treasonous right wing republicans. They are the biggest traitors and disgrace to America.
