So you are still not going to back your claims. Noted.

The fact of the matter here is this. No one knows the true number of dead.

The DoD does not track it (to the best of my knowledge). The Iraqi government has admitted that they can not reliably track it. Do you smell what I am stepping in?

At one point a study done by Columbia University School of Nursing and Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad said that the number ranged between 8,000 and 194,000. Another study said upwards of a million.

British Medact has changed their numbers back and forth the whole time.

At one point I remember reading an article in Marine Times that said the number was changed because they found out that some of their sources were counting sick and lame deaths into the count.


There is no reliable information out there on how many Iraqis have died.

Please do not trust anti war sites to give you the truth. Because no one knows for sure.
