2,998 Soldiers Killed Since Bush* Invasion.

Just reported on CNN that 109 have died in December.

It will only get worse and worse, because Bush has shown Iraq that he also has an utter contempt for Islam by hanging Saddam on the day when God pardonned Abraham and didn't want Abraham's son sacrifised. Bush made a clear statement that he is more powerful than their God. Nothing good can come out of that...

BAGHDAD, Dec 30 (Reuters) - December became the deadliest month for U.S. troops in Iraq in two years after the U.S. military reported six more combat deaths, leaving the tally just two short of the emotive 3,000 mark.

Three U.S. marines died on Thursday from wounds suffered in combat in Iraq's western Anbar province. One soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in northwest Baghdad and another soldier was killed in Anbar on Friday, the military said on Saturday.

Another statement announced the death of a U.S. soldier killed by a roadside bomb in southwest Baghdad on Friday.

The latest deaths take the number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq since the invasion of March 2003 to 2,998, according to icasualties.org, a Web site that tracks U.S. deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.
