death tolls in Iraq?

unless i missread, they last said that 700 US Soldiers were killed, and 1100 Iraqi militia. is this right?!

if so, then that's a 1.5 : 1 ratio... :scratch:

i would think it should be much much higher...

We don't do body counts

I doub't we'll ever know for sure.

Misread where?

When were these 1100 Iraqi's supposed to have died? We know that those 700 have been over the last 14 months, but have no real information about Iraqi casualties neither recently nor any period of time really.

If I were to hazard a guess, I would put Iraqi casualties a lot higher than that, and not all of them by coalition forces by any means.

I think more than 1100 Iraqis have died in combat w/ the U.S--look at the Fallujah numbers. There's about 700 there, just over the past few weeks.

I don't think there's such a thing as an official Iraqi death toll, but the official American casualty toll for Iraq and Afghanistan can be found here. Press Resources -> Casualty Reports.

Mmm... really doubt that one, its probably a lot higher. And have we really lost 700 soliders? Last I heard it was 5-6 hundred. hm... :scratch:

Over 700 lost total. You're thinking of the number lost in direct combat, which is still at 5 or 6 hundred.

You can add this to the total:

BAGHDAD: Renewed bloodshed in Iraq claimed the lives of seven US soldiers and 19 Iraqis Saturday, as US administration mulled over boosting its military presence amid lingering fears the levels of violence could go up further.

The incidents occurred both in the Sunni Muslim north of the country and in Shiite dominated areas, including the volatile Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City where explosions killed eight Iraqis.

At the same time, police seized a truckload of explosives and arrested three Iraqis suspected in a series of suicide attacks in British-occupied southern Iraq that had killed 74 people on Wednesday.

In Taji, just north of Baghdad, five US soldiers were killed and six more were wounded -- three of them critically -- when a rocket was fired at their base at dawn Saturday, a military spokeswoman said.

A truck that had been used to fire the rocket was destroyed by a US military helicopter after the troops called for reinforcements, she said.

Another two US soldiers were killed and one wounded in a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) attack on a convoy near the southern city of Kut, police said.

The latest casualties brought to 718 the American military death toll since the US-led invasion of Iraq in March last year, including 520 killed in action, most of them fighting against insurgents
