ok let me ask you this....
When has his President EVER underestimated?
All the time.
It's a lot higher than you think.
Well here's what the nutcase media says:
Mr Bush said "30,000 have died more or less" in the invasion and ensuing violence, together with 2,140 US soldiers.
His estimate appeared to include both Iraqi civilians and security forces.

If we attack Iran, I'm hoping it's with a lot bigger bombs that leave no survivors and won't require boots on the ground.
