The Associated Press reports that the Iraqi government has counted more than 87,000 Iraqis killed in violence since 2005.

The news agency said it received the information from a government official who requested anonymity. The source said the death toll could be 10 - 20 percent higher because of thousands more civilians missing or unaccounted for.

On Thursday, three suicide bombings in Iraq killed at least 78 people - making it one of the most violent days in the country in more than a year.

In the deadliest attack, a bomber detonated explosives in a restaurant in Diyala province. Police say at least 47 people were killed, many of them Iranian Shi'ite pilgrims.

2. Hey, when one life has no value, 80K Xs 0 is still 0. Pro-Life is a LIE.

Pro-Lifers are the ones who put BushCo in place to do this thing and they are so stupid that they don't understand that if ANY one life A - N - Y - W - H - E - R - E has no value, then no fetus has any value.

This obvious error in "Pro-Life" thinking makes me wonder who they REALLY are.

4. Oh, we're hoping the rest of the World is like us, easily distracted by bread and circuses.

Pirate stories and such should keep them distracted long enough until they forget what we did.

5. The toll since the war began is very likely over 10 times that amount
