U.S. military deaths in Iraq at 3,154

Summarized article by the Associated Press

I just felt that this statistic was quite an alarming idea as to what kind of toll America has now suffered through during the Occupation in Iraq. 3,154 members of the US military have died in the invasion and continued occupation in March of 2003. Over 2,500 of that number has been a direct result of hostile action. By comparison, Britain has lost 132 soldiers. Obviously, "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq has not happened and the situation seems to be spiraling lower and lower, with the window of opportunity for victory and peace in the country growing smaller by the day. Democrats in the Senate have even started discussion about setting a limit on the time America can stick around in the country.
