87,000 Iraqis Can't be Dead...

[Fallon]

BAGHDAD – Iraq's government has recorded 87,215 of its citizens killed since 2005 in violence ranging from catastrophic bombings to execution-style slayings, according to government statistics obtained by The Associated Press that break open one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war.

Seems like a lot.

A couple dozen people die in those suicide bombings. Over the past few years that's thousands of people already. And that's just some of the things we hear about.

I totally believe that number could be real.

One bit of good news though is that the numbers of Iraqi dead each year has fallen. I hate that civilians have to loose their lives in something like this, hopefully it will be better sooner than later.

From most things I've read, it appears to be a very realistic number....possibly even light.

There's a good chance atleast a few of the dead were terrorists, relatives of terrorists, friends of terrorists, neighbors of terrorists or knew a kid from school who went on to become a terrorist.
