"The Total Dead in Iraq
December 11, 2005: American fatalities in Iraq, so far, amount to 2,400 coalition dead (89 percent American), about 12,000 Iraqi soldiers and police killed (half defending Saddam in early 2003, the rest defending the new Iraqi government), and about 28,000 civilians. The civilian figure includes anti-government forces. In fact, at least half the “civilian” dead are terrorists and anti-government gunmen. We know that because over 80 percent of the dead civilians are adult males (which normally account for only about a quarter of the population.) However, adult males comprise over 99 percent of the terrorist and anti-government gunmen population. "
If all of the males killed were terrorists/insurgents that would mean worse than 1:10 KIA ratio in coalition-terrorist numbers... Iraqi forces and wounded excluded. This number could only be true if the war is going far worse than expressed before... and don´t talk about the caught insurgents/WIAs in about every news its less than the number of killed [aint fast enough to surrender].
Someone wants to diminish the number of killed I think... or the war goes worse than imagined. Choose whether you wan, I choose the first one. |
