Title: Rate of coalition deaths increasing in Afghanistan Post by: ○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└ on July 25, 2007, 03:56:23 AM Let me first start with the differences between this and Iraq:
There is a real coalition in Afghanistan. Almost half of the deaths this year and last year were not Americans. This rate has been increasing. Afghanistan was actually connected to 9/11. The media has completely ignored Afghanistan. Here are the statistics on those who gave their lives in this forgotten conflict: Deaths by year Year US Other Total 2001 12 0 12 (Rate of 52 a year) 2002 48 20 68 2003 48 9 57 2004 52 6 58 2005 99 31 130 2006 98 93 191 2007 60 59 119 (Rate of 210 a year) Deaths by country (Notice all of the countries that Republicans love to bash) US 417 Canada 66 UK 64 German 21 Spain 21 France 9 Italy 9 Netherlands 9 Denmark 4 Romania 4 Estonia 2 Norway 2 Sweden 2 Australia 1 Czech 1 Finland 1 Portugal 1 South Korea 1 http://www.icasualties.org/oef/Default.aspx Title: Re: Rate of coalition deaths increasing in Afghanistan Post by: Hash on July 25, 2007, 08:08:11 PM I approved Harper before he decided to step up Canadian involvement in the war.
