The latest deaths, according to U.S. Central Command:


An American soldier from the 3rd Corps Support Command died Saturday of heat stroke while traveling in a convoy near the southern city of Diwaniyah.

A soldier with the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment was found dead in troop living quarters Saturday. The cause of the soldier's death is unknown.

deaths since 01 may, which I know is bullshit, we've got the casualty count rolling backwards. I think that maybe 100 is a magic number, even the most out of touch would start to take notice at that number, and thats why they are spining this so much, combat/non combat, it's all bullshit I'll accept your number of 119 dead and raise you one to 120 as reported by yahoo this morning. A soldier from the fourth ID killed by a roadside bomb, with two wounded.
