Wolfie's Math Problem
U.S Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz was asked yesterday during testimony by a congressional subcommittee how many American soldiers had been killed in hostilities in Iraq.
His answer:
"It's approximately 500, of which — I can get the exact numbers — approximately 350 are combat deaths."
Sorry, Paul.
According to the DoD's official numbers, 726 U.S. troops had died in Iraq as of Thursday morning. Of those, 524 were combat deaths.
As of right now, the total number of military personnel killed is 736. Another day, another ten Americans dead.
And for what?
For the 'exemplary action' of the Bush Doctrine. That's what. It's an utter failure.
