QUESTION: Since the inception of the Iraq war, I'd like to know the approximate total of the Iraqis who have been killed. And by Iraqis, I include civilians, military, police, insurgents, translators...BUSH: How many Iraqi citizens have died in this war? I would say 30,000, more or less, have died as a result of the initial incursion and the ongoing violence against Iraqis.
We've lost about 2,140 of our own troops in Iraq.
Holy shit, more or less? I thought we weren't keeping totals on Iraqi casualties and he's able to yank this number out of thin air?
