Dead Insurgents, How Many?

What I'm asking is if there is an official tally of "insurgent" or "enemy" deaths for the whole war following the initial invasion. I recall seeing somewhere a military statement saying they don't keep track of "enemy" deaths so I guess it's impossible to know but if a thousand were killed in just the last four or five days the total for the "war effort" must be staggering not to mention the innocents.

I see on the yahoo news blurb that twenty four american soldiers have died now in the assault on Falluja and an estimated one thousand insurgents. That's stunning! What is the total number of insurgents estimated to have been killed in the war?

About the only halfway credible tally of military-action-related civilian deaths in Iraq is IraqBodyCount , a website operated by an anti-war group, which since the beginning of hostillities has maintained a running update based on independently multiply verifiable civilian deaths due to military activity. Some discrepancies exist, which they accommodate by listing "minimum-maximum" figures. The current figure is between 14, 378 and 16,514.

It should be noted they include in their running total deaths caused by insurgent activity - car bombs, assassinations, etc. - as well as by Coalition activity, and it should be noted too that Iraqi-on-Iraqi violence accounts for exponentially more Iraqi deaths than does Coalition activity.

The detail database available there does disclose that, thouh the running total min/max tally makes no such distinction. Final caveat; digging a bitdeeper into their database reveals that some 3029 war-dead civilians have been identified by name. Draw your own conclusion.

Current DoD-released casualty count in Fallujah is a bit more than 30 Own Force, the preponderance of which are American, and 1800 to 2000 inurgents killed, approximately 500 in custody. Several hundred of the killrd and captured have been positively identified as foreign nationals, Syrians, Egyptians, Jordanians, Iranians, and Somalis, mostly, but Chechens, Afghanis, and others have been confirmed also.

sorry folks the time for worrying about insurgents and terrorists is over...they were warned this was coming...I hate that innocents are collateral damage..but I am all for saving american soldiers lives...
