Iraqi Losses

As a supplement to the stats on American casualties in Iraq, Brother Dave offers the following educated guesses on the Iraqi side:
Iraqi armed force members killed - 6,000

Iraqi armed forces injured - unknown
Iraqi civilians killed - 11,000
Iraqi civilians injured - 40,000
Dave says this is a "best guess" noting that the hospitals were ordered not to keep records. He goes on to cite this chilling statistic: Number of years the thousands and thousands of tons of Depleted Uranium deposited on Iraq by coalition forces will continue to cause illness, cancer and birth defects - 4.5 billion years
