I just read a Reuters story about 250 insurgents being killed by Iraqi forces and during the attack a United States helicopter assisting the effort crashed with two soldiers being killed. It crossed my mind that with all of the fuss going on about weather or not we should be there or if the Iraqi's want us there that I don't believe I have ever heard of a body count of brave Iraqi military personell or police officers that have also died serving their country along with the coalition. I can only come to the conclusion that if things are as bad as it seems the media wants us to believe then the count would be few and the story would be told. Does anyone know?

that's over a 50/1 kill ratio. I am impressed. GO IRAQ!

I know for a fact that they've lost many more than we have, but I cannot give you the exact figure. It's a state secret the MSM will not reveal; they're real dedicated to keeping some secrets secret, not the ones that would do us harm, but the ones that might change minds to realize the Iraqis are working in tandem with us.

IL Senators Dickhead and Barack Hussein Obama says zero, the Iraqis are not making enough of a sacrifice, and they are not worth our help anyhow.
Seems a little strange that we can kill all of the innocent Serbian people we want as long as there is not a shred of national interest present.

Thank you
It's a start but this seems to be an important subject that has been missed by both sides.
At least not discussed much.
It could have been mentioned in the state of the union address.
I'm surprised I haven't thought of it until now.

There have been numbers posted, but the problem was that they included hundreds of people who were on their way to enlist
I myself would count them as people who were willing to sacrifice themselves for their country and what they feel is at stake.
Especially knowing that they could be targeted. Unless you wanted to take the Charles Rangle approach and assume they they didn't have a choice.

Thanks
It is a pretty detailed site.
I would like to study it further but I see that someone thought it was important enough to devote some time to it.

Sorry but I read it on the net and not on a thread.
I tried to post it to other headings but it wouldn't let me for some reason.
I've received some good feedback though.

Not only the Iraqis but since I asked the question I've been linked to a couple of interesting web sites that are keeping track and the coalition casualties are far more than I thought.
Not that that's a good thing by any stretch but I'll bet that by how many troops they have present percentage wise it's about equal to the US.
