Nothing but casualties

The American deaths in Iraq have reached triple digits for this month. As of today, 100 American servicemen have been killed in Iraq. This has only happened one other time. In April 2004, 135 Americans were killed in Iraq. The total for the war is now 1221 Americans, 74 Brits, and 72 "others" which includes 7 Bulgarians, 1 Dane, 2 Estonians, 1 Hungarian, 19 Italians, 1 Latvian, 2 Dutch, 13 Poles, 1 El Salvadoran, 3 Slovakians, 11 Spaniards, 2 Turks, and 9 Ukranians. I am sorry that the rest of these countries lost any soldiers in this ridiculous war. The listing of Americans for today goes to August of 2003 when 35 Americans, 6 Brits, 1 Spaniard, and 1 Dane were killed to bring the totals up to 287 Americans, 50 Brits, 1 Spaniard and 1 Dane.
