73,846 U.S. TROOPS DEAD; 1,620,906 PERMANENTLY DISABLED
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS ISSUES OFFICIAL REPORT CONFIRMING 73,000 U.S. TROOPS KILLED IN IRAQ
SAME GOVERNMENT AGENCY REPORT CONFIRMS 1.6 MILLION "DISABLED" BY THE WAR!
George Walker Bush has presided over the worst defeat of the United States Military since Vietnam and has deliberately skewed reporting of the deaths and injuries to conceal the facts.
Department of Veteran's Affairs, in conjunction with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has released the truth because they need the AMerican People to know our military is literally, destroyed. They cannot release these horrific numbers via the chain of command, so they let slip a report which now cannot be "un-slipped."

So the report was discussed in the April 2007 public meeting.
But no minutes published. Too hot to handle! Can imagine the massive faction fights going on.
Previous meeting's Minutes include the presentation papers.
So they couldn't publish the minutes for this meeting (and therefore the subsequent meeting also) or they'd have had to include the 2007 RAC-GWVI report. Also too damning to leave just that one out. So... they are stuck.
But someone put the report on their server anyway, just with no link from the public docs index.

And now... its out.

Lets see if this ever makes it to the mainstream media.

I've always had the impression, from comparing Iraqi Resistance reports, official Centacom bodycounts, reports of coffin numbers flown back to the USA, and assorted other indicators (including the bodycount under-reporting that is documented to have occured during the Vietnam war), that the offical figures were around a factor of ten too low.

The official bodycount is now over 4000. Hostile fire:3336, non-combat:763, Total:4099 at 20070925. See http://icasualties.org/oif/Stats.aspx

So at a 'lie factor' of 10 to 1, I'd have guessed the true death toll to be around 40,000.
But no! 73,846 isn't far off twice that again! So the 'lie factor' is more like 20 to 1.

Its been clear from the very begining of the occupation that they are lying. The simplest, most obvious proof is here: http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/USfatalities.html

This graph of official casualties over time is FAR too linear. Given the various factors that should be making it more uneven, such as seasonal variations of attacks, major US offensives, the 'Surge', etc. This graph demonstrates that Centacom has been manipulating the figures to keep them below an averaged rate of 'deaths per day' that they consider politically acceptable. Or at least manageable.
