That's the number of Iraqis that have been "killed in violence since 2005." This figure comes to us from a "previously undisclosed" Iraqi government count. To that number we can add a conservative 20,000 more to reach the total number of Iraqis killed since George Bush and Dick Cheney invaded on a wing, prayer, and a lie. Throw in the displaced, the detained, the tortured, the widows, and the orphans and then you get the full picture of the mess we have made. Republicans may think we, as a country, have nothing to be sorry for, but I am sorry and I am embarrassed.
