Quick count of casualties in Iraq since May 1 (when W. declared major combat operations over):
It's possible these numbers are low. No idea what "wounded" means here...could be anything from lost limbs to sprains, I suppose.
Here's my source.
Why do I post this? Because the source article reminded me that we're only hearing about deaths of a particular type. What's more, we're not hearing anything more beyond "injured" when others are hurt. Are we talking band-aids, or artificial limbs? Not that I necessarily think that the media should be giving us exacting details for each and every casualty. The thing that does strike me as something that should be looked into is the fact that by this count (60 to 52) we're a bigger hazard to ourselves than the Iraqis are. What's up with that?
