Just over 85,000 Iraqis were killed in Iraq between 2004 and 2008, according to the first estimate from the Iraqi government since the war began.It counts violent deaths of military, police and civilians, but does not include foreigners or insurgents.
It does not include the first months of the war after the 2003 US-led invasion, as there was no functioning Iraqi government at that time to keep track.
TVNL Comment: This number does not include deaths caused by 16 minutes of non-stop bombardment that Bush called SHOCK AND AWE. It does not include cancer deaths caused by depleted uranium. Nor does it include deaths ignored by the Health Ministry after it was ordered to stop counting civilian deaths.
