AlterNet: War on Iraq: Is the United States Killing 10,000 Iraqis Every Month? Or Is It More?: "The results are nevertheless staggering for those of us who read the American press: for the deaths that the victims families knew for sure who the perpetrator was, U.S. forces (or their 'Coalition of the Willing' allies) were responsible for 56%. That is, we can be very confident that the Coalition had killed at least 180,000 Iraqis by the middle of 2006. Moreover, we have every reason to believe that the U.S. is responsible for its pro rata share (or more) of the unattributed deaths. That means that the U.S. and its allies may well have killed upwards of 330,000 Iraqis by the middle of 2006."

Sorry Saddam, we beat your record...

FOXNews.com - U.S. Embassy in Baghdad Not Yet Finished But Ready to Grow - Politics | Republican Party | Democratic Party | Political Spectrum: "WASHINGTON — It’s as big as Vatican City and makes the foreign embassies dotting the tree-lined streets of Washington, D.C., look like carriage houses, but the barely-finished U.S. embassy in Baghdad is already primed for expansion."

It is already the largest planned embassy in the world, and they still need to expand it. Inside, the fortunate employees will be able to go shopping at the PX, take refuge from the desert temps in the huge pool, or catch a movie at the cinema. Meanwhile, outside the fence, struggling Iraqi's will pray not to get bombed or shot at, and really won't have time to worry about their undrinkable water and failing electricity infrastructure. Why do the militants hate us?
