US body count
Number of American military personnel killed in Iraq per day (March '03-December '04). Chart does not include American contractors, non-US coalition troops, journalists, or Iraqi National Guardsmen. [NYT]
Nor, for that matter, Iraqi military or civilian casualties.
But ... didn't you know what Rush Limbaugh says about this???

Not surprisingly, casualties will be turned into a wedge issue by the right. I've heard two radio-cons play the "hoping for deaths" card which they think will be used to stifle descent.
It's all to obvious: we will continue to pay for this fiasco with blood and treasure. Bush will take no critisism and will acccept Rumsfeld's [who will take it] resignation in the spring. Rough times ahead in '05.
