Quick - How many American troops have died in Iraq so far?

[matt819]

Don't search DU. Don't go to the CNN body count page. Respond now. How many have died?

My point? Have you seen any articles in the MSM on the body count recently? Have you seen any poll data re * recently? Hmm. Must be the liberal media.

1. I'm in denial mode---I had a great holiday weekend and am

afraid to look because it will just depress me,I'm sure.

It's 2,212 the last time I looked........and I'm not an American.

But then again, I always check out the body count here:

11. I think you are right on the money, honey (oops - 2,220!)

(I thought rocknation's post said 2,220, not 2,200...I still can't get to icasualties...)

I am going to cheat after i hit post to be sure.

I check the ICC several times a day, and I think they recently added two confirmed from the helicpoter crash...

on edit: Weird - I can't get the icasualties site to open. I wonder if they are being bombarded because of this thread, or if something else is wrong...

8. I sadly remember the number being around 2,220. MSM rarely

mentions the number.

[justabob]

9. 2450 or therabouts nt

[karlrschneider]

10. I usually check a few times a week but not in 2 or 3 days, I'll guess 2230

or thereabouts...?

on edit, icasualties.org isn't responding but Al Gore did say 2200 this morning I believe. But you're right the SCLM doesn't have much to say about it.

[Crunchy Frog]

17. According to Icasualties

it's now at 2220. I'm sure it won't be that for long.

Edit: Seems to be quite alot of helicopters going down lately.

18. Geez, I had it within 20

That comes from going to a peace/protest vigil where they make a point of putting the casualty count on one of the signs.
