There have been 4,371 coalition deaths -- 4,063 Americans, two Australians, 176 Britons, 13 Bulgarians, one Czech, seven Danes, two Dutch, two Estonians, one Fijian, one Hungarian, 33 Italians, one Kazakh, one Korean, three Latvian, 22 Poles, three Romanians, five Salvadoran, four Slovaks, 11 Spaniards, two Thai and 18 Ukrainians -- in the war in Iraq as of May 1, 2008. This does not include soldiers who die of their wounds or suicides when they are stateside.
At least 29,911 U.S. troops have been wounded in action, according to the Pentagon.
Documented deaths of Iraqi civilians are more than 90,000. Most deaths are not documented and some experts believe the number is closer to over 2 million.

Funding the War is Killing Our Troops
Support Our Troops
Fund a Safe and Orderly Withdrawal from Iraq and Care for Them as They Return
CALL TO ACTION!
SENATOR CLINTON AND SENATOR OBAMA:
USE YOUR LEADERSHIP NOW TO END THE WAR IN IRAQ!
A single act of bold leadership by Senator Clinton or Senator Obama could be instrumental in ending this war. When the Senate takes up the next war funding bill, either one of them could lead a filibuster, refusing to stand down until their colleagues agree to vote against any bill that provides funding to continue the war rather than funding specifically for the swift and safe return of all our troops from Iraq. They wouldn't even need a majority of their colleagues to back them up -- all they need is 40 Senators prepared to unite behind their leadership and block additional funding to continue the war from making it through the Senate.
