9/11 death toll: 2752

[CalebHayes]

In the next few weeks when the US Iraq death toll surpasses this number do you think it will be covered much in the media? Also, will it have an impact on how Americans feel about the war? Could Bush's approval ratings finally fall into the 20s, hitting historic lows?

1. If that's the actual 9/11 death toll then Iraq already surpassed it.

U.S. Deaths Confirmed By The DoD: 2905
Reported U.S. Deaths Pending DoD Confirmation: 15
Total 2920

But I saw different stats.

U.S. deaths in Iraq, war on terror surpass 9/11 toll


(CNN) -- As the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attack on the United States approaches, another somber benchmark has just been passed.

The announcement Sunday of four more U.S. military deaths in Iraq raises the death toll to 2,974 for U.S. military service members in Iraq and in what the Bush administration calls the war on terror.

The 9/11 attack killed 2,973 people, including Americans and foreign nationals but excluding the terrorists. The 9/11 death toll was calculated by CNN.

The comparison between fatalities in the war on terror and 9/11 was drawn last month by Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, during testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

"It's now almost five years since September 11, 2001," Pace said. "And the number of young men and women in our armed forces who have sacrificed their lives that we might live in freedom is approaching the number of Americans who were murdered on 9/11 in New York, in Washington, D.C., and in Pennsylvania."

M$M shills couldn't care less though, perhaps not until the criminal blivet's "coma" goes up to 58,179... http://thewall-usa.com/summary.asp

When Will Enough Be Enough Enough? When Too Many Will Be Too Many? (And For What?)

3. Cheney/Bush have proven they can kill more Americans than al Qaeda.

Sometimes I think that's their only goal.

4. WIKI says 2973 dead 24 missing on 9/11.

But the White House Snowjob will be that it is just a number when the troop deaths reach that number, right?

5. Sorry if the number is slightly off there are conflicting numbers out there.
