#1 ...but the MSM is reporting it "above the fold" as 2007 Deadliest Year Ever in Iraq. You have to give them credit for consistency of incredible seditious behavior and attitude.

#4 Yup, heard the same thing a couple times out here. Bunch a'crap. antiwar.cum: estimated wounded since '03 23000-100000. What kind of error factor is that?!

Battle of Guadalcanal - Aug. 7, 1942 to Feb. 1943 (6 months) - US casualties 6,000 of 60,000 including 1600 dead; Japan casualties 24,000 of 36,000. - history.sandiego.edu

#5 The USN got caught flat-footed by a column of pogoda ships at Savo Island and took 952 casualties in a surface action that took less than an hour. The board of inquiry censured one officer (and would have been critical of another had he not shot himself in quarters in Panama.)

The war in Iraq isn't really Galipoli is it.
