American Losses in Iraq

[nhboy]

"Here is my regular summary of American losses in Iraq and those suffered by our enemies. U.S. losses are those as reported by the ICCC. Terrorist losses are those reported by MNF-I, except for November’s, which are my compilation pending confirmation by the military.

American losses are due to combat. Deaths from non-hostile causes are not included. People die of illnesses, vehicle accidents, murder, etc. all the time and being in Iraq has little to do with that statistic. Much of the media and many bloggers report the total deaths, which I suggest gives an inaccurate picture of the data.

The first graph compares our losses to the terrorists since 2006. The surge reached full strength in mid-June 2007."
