It would also be incorrect. We have lost more than 3100 troops in the GWoT. And the number of wounded is approaching 23,000.

Not to split hairs but the total on the Iraq coalition casualty page ( http://www.icasualties.org/oif/ ) as of 4 dec. 06 is 2907.

My point being earlier that we have absorbed almost the same amount of casulaties over 5 years as we did in one day and the outrage is over the military ones, they ignore the civilian death toll because it reflects negatively on them.

So the administration should be more foreful in putting the casulaiteis in perspective.
