The war in Iraq by the numbers:

-Casualties: Among U.S. troops, 101 dead, 11 missing and seven captured, according to the Pentagon. Among British troops, 30 dead.

-Deployed: More than 300,000 allied troops are in the region, with about 255,000 from the United States, 45,000 British troops, 2,000 Australia troops, 400 Czech and Slovak troops and 200 Polish troops. Nearly 100,000 more U.S. forces on the way.

-Timeline: Wednesday is the 21st day of the war, which began on March 20 in Iraq.

-Iraqi deaths: Neither Iraq nor the coalition has released an estimate of military casualties. Iraq says nearly 600 civilians have been killed and more than 4,000 wounded since the war began. In the first Gulf War, an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 Iraqi military deaths occurred.

Can anyone post which countries were represented by troops in IRAQ -NOT necessarily combat either.

We need to FREEP their embassies with THANKS.

The USA military vs. Arab military kill ratio is consistently 100 to 1. In this day and age it should be 1,000 to 1. We need to design and build more robot warriors. I'm sure another Arab country will be kind enough to offer us another weapons proving ground.

100 to 1 is still pretty good... :)

Don't you watch movies with robot armies? It never turns out well for those made of flesh and blood.
