4. Official casualty figures don't add up & not talking DU

If the American people knew it was closer to, say,
4,000
troops dead and 30,000 wounded, it wouldn't look like such
a good trade. It might even lead people to question the
wisdom of starting the same game all over again
in.

And someone can talk to me about
Rense being a source.

Baghdad.

US command sends Iraqi puppet politicians to try to
start negotiations with the Iraqi Resistance.

Resistance bombing leaves 11 American troops dead.
Local Iraqis watch horrified as American soldiers treat
remains of their fellow troops like garbage( Green
Card Soldiers?)

An Iraqi Resistance martyrdom fighter drove a car
bomb - apparently loaded with high-explosives - into a
US column near the municipal buildings of Abu Ghurayb at
about 4:45pm Sunday local time, Mafkarat al-Islam reported.
The car bomb went off in a huge explosion that destroyed
one US tank and disabled a Humvee. Eleven American
soldiers were killed instantly and many more wre wounded
and evacuated after fighting died
down.

Plus DU casualties-11000 US

This is all I have found. Being the cynic I have become I am sure this has something to do with the lack of casualty report...
