Wow. In the link to a Russian news website that Cindy posted, one sentence from an article says (regarding three US deaths in Iraq):

"Their deaths pushed to 249 the number of US combat fatalities in Iraq since US President George Bush declared an end to major hostilities on 1 May 2003."

Interesting that the Russian author uses only the total for combat deaths, whereas our own media uses the combined combat and non-combat totals (500+).

When I check links of interest, I always think of the keyword "propaganda."
