The U.S. military death toll in the Iraq war reached 2,000 with the announcements Tuesday of three more deaths

The Pentagon announced that Staff Sgt. George T. Alexander Jr., 34, of Killeen, Texas, died Saturday in San Antonio of injuries sustained Oct. 17.

Alexander was wounded in Samarra, a town 60 miles north of the Iraqi capital. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Benning, Ga.

Earlier Tuesday, the U.S. military announced the deaths of two unidentified Marines in fighting with insurgents last week in a village west of Baghdad. The deaths raised the Associated Press tally of military fatalities to 2,000 in the Iraq war, which began in March 2003.

President Bush warned the nation to brace for an even higher casualty count as the mission has more work remaining to be successful.

and if I'm not mistaken, that doesn't even count the casulities of the injured who died in hospitals overseas (i.e. injured in Iraq, die in English Hospital, not an Iraq casualty)....

I also agree that it’s much higher than this. We should all keep in mind that “Private Soldiers”- contractors, missionaries, guns for hirer, security personnel, etc. are not counted. The total dead amerikans I’m sure is well over 10,000.

It’s also interesting to know that Private Amerikan companies are hiring workers in other countries as a way to keep US casualties down. Nobody cares if sixteen workers from Peru get killed.

a moment of silent strength for those in pain and in mourning and a silent goodbye for those we will never meet in our life time.......and a belief for a final day of battle.
