In all, 40,000 Iraqi soldiers were killed in the conflict, she concluded, putting total Iraqi losses from the war and its aftermath at 158,000, including 86,194 men, 39,612 women, and 32,195 children
These figure just include the number of Iraqi's killed after the Gulf War. It doesnt include the hundreds of thousands who have starved to death since the Gulf War ended because of Sanctions put on their country by Bush Sr. Also, this number doesnt include the current Iraqi death toll because the war is still going. You think rebel car bombs kill more people than cluster bombs? Please
