Report: Close to One Million Iraqis Killed in War and 1,000 Private Contractors Killed.

From Democracynow:

The non-profit group Just Foreign Policy says the number of Iraqis killed since the start of the U.S. invasion will soon top one million. The group's estimate is a rough update of a scientific study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University last year, which concluded that 601,000 violent Iraqi deaths were attributable to the invasion as of July 2006. Meanwhile the New York Times reports the number of private contractors killed in Iraq recently topped 1,000.

The Bush Administration has caused thousands of innocent Iraq deaths, millions of Iraq left to other countries, no water or power, no government, invaders took land and called it the Green Zone, all of the artifices of the history that goes back to the days of the bible stolen by the US, giving weapons/vest/bullets/money to the enemy and stealing Iraq oil. Now George W. Bush has a legacy when he leaves office. Cheney will see someone take what he stole just like Howard Hughes. Just as Daddy Bush how he got his overseas oil companies and he'll let you know he stole them from Hughes when he was ill.
