the number that has been discussed...on numerous occasions....

Blah-Blah-Blah!

We should have nuked the place

They are inevitable in war. Oh, and not all these people are innocent either. And not all were killed by US forces, many of them were killed by fellow Iraqi terrorists (not insurgents but terrorists).

That's what Noam Chomsky and some of the lying web sites like salon.com have pushed.

Misleading website.

It also says that the difference between the min and max of IBC is based on confusion over whether the deaths were of civilians or insurgents.

So presumably the min figure of over 15,000 includes no civilians.

And considering that IBC only counts recorded deaths, 100,000 isn't much of a stretch. Note that the 100,000 was based on a poll of 998 iraqis, and assuming these were average iraqis and they did the math right, it should be accurate.

That count may be true but those deaths weren't at the hands of American/Coalition forces, mostly suicide bombers and car bombs.

I just don't like to have someone pass those numbers off as how many innocent civilians America killed.
