The original post erroneously reported the numbers from the congressional report, and have been adjusted.
The 4000 soldier has died in Iraq. A moment of silence for the soldier and the others who have sacraficed themselves in the line of duty.
Now, here's an interesting question you have to ask yourself: If Hillary is elected, will she repeat her husband's track record on soldier deaths? You must be thinking, "Surely she can do better than Bush!" Well, before you jump to any conclusions, how about we look at the facts.
The Clinton years cause more soldier casualties than the Bush years?
Last year (June of 2007), Congress commissioned a report of all casualties in all the conflicts America has been in and it is interesting to see:

The total number of deaths during Clinton's reign: 7500
The total number of deaths during Bush's reign so far: 8792
The total number of wars during Clinton's reign: 0
The total number of wars during Bush's reign: 2
Even with two wars, under Bush only roughly 15% more deaths have occurred...

You are correct. I was hesitant to post this since I did find this in an email and that's a dubious source at best. I tried snoping the email but couldn't find anything. Thank you for pointing this out, I shall adjust the post accordingly.
