Centcom:Total US wounded in Iraq since MAR 20th: 1,938 avg 9 day

These are the wounded totals as reported directly
by US military - CENTCOM

Yet even in today's NYTIMES column by PNACer Thomas Friedman
he reports a much much lower wounded count - "900".

Where did Friedman get that number ? And why the spinning
by falsely reporting a lower casualty count that
is so blatantly a lie ?

He just pulled that count out of thin-air.

as of today 7 am (or thats the hour i recall her telling me) -



1609 wounded in combat

plus 338 wounded non-combat

I put another flag on my SUV.

showing one of our soldiers being fitted with prosthetic arms (lost both of them in a grenade attack) with an article about adjustment to his life now was interesting. I was wondering how many we have now as well as how many of those seriously wounded have died and haven't been reported as casualties.
