Really, I am curious.
What great terrorist threat has the US prevented by invading Iraq???
Would the Jordanian Embassy have been bombed if Saddam were still in power? What about that attack on the UN?
I put it to the hawks on this forum that this 'war' has actually encouraged terrorist attacks and is gradually turning Iraq into 'Al Qaeda Alley'...
Bravo!

Sorry, I am not the Prime Minister, so short of assassinating him I fail to see what I could have done to prevent it except complain vociferously and go on the anti war march in London - which I did both...
I just said that the UK pop was AGAINST the war - Blair only succeeded in getting back despite a massive rebellion from his own party by deliberately misleading the country over the threat posed by Saddam!We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

Most of the post-May 1 fatalities have been non-combat related. Vehicle accidents, a couple of illness and heat casualties, some ordnance disposal accidents, etc. **** happens on extended deployments, even without the added combat and booby traps from the *******s. If it was easy, then civilians would do it.
I put it to you that to the US public back home that a dead marine in a body bag from heatstroke is pretty much the same as one with his head blown off...
Therefore the total number of US soldiers killed in Iraq is still 276...

Interesting to note that the report (US) does not make the distinction you do.

Anyway, you can't say the occupation will fail because we have vehicle accidents we probably have less than average.

Prolly you would be less likely to die in a vehicle accident in Iraq than you would on the US freeways.
I guarantee that's a fact too.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

Nope, US soldiers dead. Killed means someone did it to them :P

When someone dies in a vehicle accident for example, it is quite routine to be reported as 'person X was killed'...
Dead is dead - the US public sees body bags. They don't care how the person died - only that they died in Iraq...
