GIs Death Tally in Iraq Exceeds 3,500
Pierre Tristam / Candide’s Notebooks, June 8, 2007

The Associated Press had the death tally at 3,501 Thursday, Iraq Casualties had it at 3,504. The death toll of the last two months is the highest of any two successive months since the war began. The rate this month risks adding up to a third straight month of 100 or more soldiers killed. As always, the tally pales in comparison with Iraqi losses and suffering. As far as Iraqis are concerned, one day’s toll usually exceeds any month’s toll for Americans. And the beatings go on. Meanwhile, the imbecilic cheerleading of delusions goes on, too.
