Wolf Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I'm just going to pin up the total casualty report here, so we have an accurate frame of reference. CNN updates it every now and then, and they have a pretty fair graphical analysis that is useful, as well.http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/forces/casualties/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted May 15, 2004 Author Share Posted May 15, 2004 Oh, and it's sticky. Thank you very much, moderators! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Good idea!Although it should be noted that this list doesn't include Iraqi and civilian casualties. Perhaps I shall attempt to find such a list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 Good luck. I've tried, but all I could really come up with were really biased estimates, or plainly inaccurate reports. If you can find something that's corroborated from both a Coalition and an Iraqi source, I commend you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlyPIG Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 There's always www.iraqbodycount.org but they don't seem very objective to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 The numbers appear accurate to me, but they obviously are biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 It doesn't matter if they are biased, just accurate and truthful numbers are enough...Biased towards Iraq? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 Probably biased against the Coalition.From what I've seen, few people could possibly be biased towards Iraq. Since the world's choices were, make war on them, or leave them to Saddam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Assassinate Saddam, maybe? Cheaper, less trouble, less effort, etc... Read a newspaper article todays complaining about the lack of records of civilian Iraqis killed... *Tries to find article.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 If we really wanted to, we could try to dig up news on every attack and try to assemble some sort of list, so we didn't have to worry about bias. Imagine the task that would be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Or we could set up our own Fed2k news service, and go to Iraq ourselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Iraq would be a great place for all who are fans of the fremen. They could then sneak in and gather some news there, and maybe be lucky enough to escape the sandworms living in the desert there and being able to report the news to the Dune2k Committee, to be eventually declined and you losing your precious water.

Egeides Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 How come CNN reports one sides death and not the other? Is it not exactly what should be called unbalanced/biased? :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 I think its because CNN is not given accurate reports about the other side. They simply do not have the data to make any report on Iraqi casualties. They've reported on estimates of Iraqi deaths before, but almost never on specifics. If you want, go through each CNN newscast on Iraq and add up the total number of confirmed Iraqi dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Yesterday there was a mortar attack against our soldiers. Three died, alongside with two Poles and a Latvian. Sounds weirdly, but it's worst combat casualty of slovak army since WW2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 prove it. Cnn is actually quite reliable and a hell of a lot better than Fox news, though I prefer the BBC over CNN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
