The Iraq War in Facts and Figures

Alright, I've compiled a list of facts and figures regarding the Iraq War, which has now entered its seventh year.
The War in Numbers*:
US casualties: 4,259
Civilian Deaths: 91,121-99,500
Cost: The war could cost a total of $1.6 trillion this year.
*These numbers are more than likely conservative estimates. Also, they do not take into account the countless numbers of wounded, both physically and psychologically. Most importantly, we must remember that there are real people behind these figures. The true cost of war cannot be measured.
