The Back Room

Welcome to The Back Room! Step in, read, write and link with other sites that focus on the Bush Administration, their lies and our demand for the truth. The Back Room was created over many dinners, glasses of wine and "pints" of frustration over where our country is headed. We need more voices, your voices,to help us uncover and reclaim our democracy.

Coalition of The Willing?

After reading the statistics listed below, I find myself horrified and laughing at the same time. It has become glaringly evident that there never was any Coalition of the Willing. It was always us, alone. Think, we willingly did this to ourselves.

As of Friday, Sept. 16, 2005, at least 1,898 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. At least 1,475 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers. The figures include five military civilians.
The AP count matches the Defense Department's tally, last updated at 10 a.m. EDT Friday.
The British military has reported 96 deaths; Italy, 26; Ukraine, 18; Poland, 17; Bulgaria, 13; Spain, 11; Slovakia, three; El Salvador, Estonia, Thailand and the Netherlands, two each; and Denmark, Hungary, Kazakhstan and Latvia one death each.
Since May 1, 2003, when President Bush declared that major combat operations in Iraq had ended, 1,759 U.S. military members have died, according to AP's count. That includes at least 1,366 deaths resulting from hostile action, according to the military's numbers.
