as of 6 Sept 2006:
US war dead: 2664
US war wounded: 19,688That doesn't include Coalition forces, Iraqi Defense Forces, or Iraqi civilians.
Final death toll for the World Trade Center attack: 2752. But the total varies from source to source.
Can't find the source, but I recall reading recently of around 6,500 people being treated in area hospitals that recovered. But now we have many, many first-responders and rescue workers reporting various respiratory diseases. So who knows what the true "wounded" number is?Even some of the rescue dogs have died prematurely.
Overall, there were 2996 deaths (homocide bombers not included) from the 9/11 attacks. When the US death toll in Iraq hits 2996, do you think Bush will decide that THAT is the point at which this war has been too costly?
