U.S. Military Deaths in Iraq Approach 500: AP

Advertisements [?]

EXCERPT:
"The number of American troops who have died in Iraq (news - web sites) since the war began last March is nearing 500, more than U.S. losses in many regional conflicts of the past several decades: the Gulf War (news - web sites), Lebanon, Somalia, Panama, Grenada, Kosovo and Afghanistan (news - web sites).

So far the Iraq conflict has cost the lives of 494 American service members, including nine who were killed Thursday in the crash of a Black Hawk medivac helicopter believed shot down near Fallujah. Most of the deaths — both combat and non-combat — have occurred since President Bush (news - web sites) declared an end to major fighting on May 1."
