Was about to post a stupid comment when I remembered that "," can be used as a thousand separator when in my country it's a decimal separator :)

2.652 sounded weird :p

Sounds about right. Weren't the Iraqis claiming a similar number in their last few broadcasts?

Demonizing America because of some 2,000 odd civilian casualties that were the result of US mistakes and Iraqi 'shielding' tactics is not quite in the same category as some 2,000 odd civilian deaths that were the result of direct targeting.

Lets not forget who the bad guys are.

Well ... unless I'm reading his post wrong, I think what Saurdaukar is trying to say is that in his opinion the US military is not evil at all, they're just incompetent.
