They don't have a list of attacks and casualities updated daily though, and they use the same casualty numbers as the antiwar site because they both link to Iraq Body Count.
True, but their stats are amazing, and they have daily reports about everything reportable about Iraq (and Afganistan).

LZ,
A suggestion might be to do a total figure as well that's updated each day too.
There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror... --- Mark Twain
That's a good idea, I've added them all together. I'll write that up in my next post, first the numbers for today:
October 12, 2007
Friday: 1 GI, 1 Georgian, 16 Iraqis Killed; 38 Iraqis Wounded
Due to the Eid al-Fitr celebrations and the weekly prayer observance, news was scant today. The most significant incident was an attack on Kurdish children celebrating the Eid in Tuz Khormato. Overall, at least 16 Iraqis were killed and 38 more were wounded. The deaths of a GI and a Georgian soldier were also reported.
The DOD announced the death of a GI in an IED attack in Baghdad on Wednesday. The Georgian military reported their first loss in Iraq; one soldier died on Sept. 30 in a non-combat event. Also, the two Coalition soldiers who died yesterday in the Camp Victory were both Americans. The family of one announced his death, while the military announced the death of the second soldier. Also, and IED blasted an Australian military vehicle without leaving casualties. And, Echo base was shelled, but no casualties were reported; it is the home of the Polish forces.
In Tuz Khormato, a bomb hidden in a cart full of candy killed three children and an adult, while injuring 21 others. At the time, many Kurdish children were celebrating the Eid al-Fitr holiday by playing in the streets. Three of the wounded children belong to the deputy governor of Salah ad Din province. The would-be suicide bomber was also injured in the attack. The figures may change as more information is released.
In Baghdad, four dumped bodies were discovered. Four people were killed and 15 more were wounded during a car bombing in a Bab al-Sharqi commercial area. Also, one of the injured victims in last nights café bombing in the New Baghdad district has died.
Gunmen attacked the Kut home of a policeman, killing him and wounding his wife.
A policeman was killed and property was damaged during clashes in Diwaniya.
One body was found in Mahaweel.
Authorities released 26 innocent detainees in Diyala province.
The governor of Ninewah province was persuaded not to resign his post. He has turned in his resignation citing security concerns as his reason for leaving.
Also, as Turkish officials continue to threaten military action in Iraq, Kurdish separatists claimed they were heading back into Turkey to attack political and security targets.
The total casualties since September 13th when I started this thread have been:
53 coalition soldiers killed
1865 Iraqi's killed
1745 Iraqi's wounded
So these casualties have been in only one month.
what is the total amount of casualties since the war started in 2003?
considering that many have been killed/wounded in the last month, i'm sure the numbers are quite large.
Bush makes me sick.

The total of US military casualties is officially 27936, and estimated to be between 23000 - 100000.
The Iraqi casualties have been estimated to be as high as a million, but the sources vary on it. I personally think that about a million is a good guess given the amount that die on a daily basis.
Here are the most recent ones:
October 13, 2007
Saturday: 4 GIs, 58 Iraqis Killed; 22 Iraqis Wounded
Thanks to the Eid al-Fitr holiday, news was scant for a second day in a row. Many newspapers in Iraq have temporarily ceased publication during the holiday. Overall, at least 58 Iraqis were killed, mostly gunmen, and 22 more were wounded in the latest round of violence. Also, four American soldiers were killed in separate events.
An American soldier died yesterday in Kirkuk during an IED explosion. Two 15th Sustainment Brigade Soldiers were killed and five others were wounded during shelling just outside Baghdad on Wednesday; this incident is unrelated to the Camp Victory rocket attack. The DOD also reported the death of a soldier in Baghdad on Thursday; he was killed during an IED attack.
In Baghdad, three dumped bodies were found. Shelling in the Doura neighborhood left one dead and eight wounded, including children.
A roadside bomb in Kirkuk killed one policeman and wounded three others during an assassination attempt on the deputy police chief’s life; he was unharmed in the incident. A former police commando, now civilian, was injured during an armed attack. Also, the final figures in yesterday's attempt on the the police chief's life reached eight dead and 62 wounded; that is ten more injury victims than previously reported.
Four bodies belonging to suspected al-Qaeda members were found near Duluiya.
A large cache of explosives was discovered in Tal Afar.
A medical doctor was abducted in Basra.
U.S. forces killed one suspect and detained three others in Baghdad. Iraqi army troops backed by the al-Fadel Awakening council reported killing 48 suspects over the last four days in the al-Fadel neighborhood in Baghdad.
In Diyala province, 65 families were forced to leave their homes after receiving death threats.
The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) denied their intention to cross over into Turkey. They also claimed to not launch attacks on Turkey from inside Iraq as they have members already based in Turkey. Meanwhile, the presence of Turkish troops on the Iraqi border has increased.
Villagers in Kani Zawa also claimed that Turkish troops terrorized them during an overnight small arms attack, while those in Nezdoor said they received shelling from Turkish forces. No casualties were reported in either incident.
The total since September 13th:
57 coalition soldiers killed
1923 Iraqi's killed
1767 Iraqi's wounded
Out of all the sources I've looked at recently the numbers vary, but one million is probably a likely total, considering the war has been going on since 2003 and how many deaths there are daily it would not surprise me either.
