U.S. wounded in Iraq hits 30,000; Number of U.S. dead in Afghanistan reaches 500
A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
There was plenty of fanfare when the number of dead soldiers in Iraq reached 4,000. The MSM actually paid (some) attention to the war in Iraq.
But two other round numbers were reached over the weekend: The number of U.S. wounded from Iraq stands at 30,004, as of May 7. And the number of U.S. dead from Afghanistan is now at 500.
Whether they are round numbers, or not-so-round, there are still human beings suffering in a situation in Iraq that wasn't justified. And that ignores the continuing discrepancies between the official Iraqi dead (91,094) and unofficial Iraqi dead (1,206,950), a current difference of 1,115,856. The official numbers are 7.6% of the unofficial numbers. ...........
