Another US soldier died in Iraq yesterday. For what? The
neo-con wet dream of a Three Stooges Reich. Meanwhile, the "US mainstream news media" is not telling you about the Bush cabal's handpicked Iraqi strongman Allawi executing six handcuffed, blindfolded
*suspects* with his own pistol in front of witnesses,
nor are they telling you about what Seymour Hersh has
been speaking out on publicly at universities around
the country (i.e. Abu Ghraib video tapes of young boys
being sodomized while in the custody of the US
military), nor have they told you that more US
soldiers have already died in Iraq in July (i.e.
post-"handover") than in all of June (i.e.,
pre-"handover"), nor are they telling you what the
free press of India is reporting (i.e. the US death
toll in Iraq is much higher than the official number
of 900+)...
Vladimir Radyuhin, The Hindu: The actual U.S. military
losses in Iraq may have reached 2,000 personnel, more
than twice the official figure of 900, as Washington
badly understates its casualty statistics, a military
diplomatic source told the Itar-Tass news agency.
"Official statistics do not include casualties among
non-U.S. nationals who sign up to serve in the
American armed forces in order to get a U.S. `green
card.' According to reliable information the share of
non-Americans in the U.S. force in Iraq may be as high
as 60 per cent," the source said. "The real number of
U.S. losses may be as high as 2,000 casualties and up
to 12,000 wounded," the military diplomat said.

2,000 U.S. troops killed in Iraq: Russian expert
By Vladimir Radyuhin
MOSCOW, JULY 23. The United States suffers far heavier
casualties in Iraq than it officially admits, a Russia
military diplomat claimed.
The actual U.S. military losses in Iraq may have
reached 2,000 personnel, more than twice the official
figure of 900, as Washington badly understates its
casualty statistics, a military diplomatic source told
the Itar-Tass news agency.
"Official statistics do not include casualties among
non-U.S. nationals who sign up to serve in the
American armed forces in order to get a U.S. `green
card.' According to reliable information the share of
non-Americans in the U.S. force in Iraq may be as high
as 60 per cent," the source said. "The real number of
U.S. losses may be as high as 2,000 casualties and up
to 12,000 wounded," the military diplomat said.
