He tried to put that in context. “Combined with U.S. losses in other theaters in the global war on terror, we have lost well more than 1,000 already,” he said adding that the “civilized world” passed that mark long ago, pointing to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and attacks elsewhere.
The Bush administration has long linked the Iraq conflict to the war on terrorism. The Sept. 11 Commission concluded that Iraq and al-Qaida did not have a “collaborative relationship” before the 2001 attacks, and some have questioned to what extent foreign terror groups are involved in the anti-U.S. insurgency in Iraq.

Look at how Cheney tries to downplay the 1000 soldiers who have died in Iraq by claiming that we've lost them due to terrorism! This is an outright lie!!! He and Bush are to blame for each and every life lost in Iraq, not terrorism. You people want to know where I get my information...here it is...from Cheney and Bush.
