Sometime this month, the number of Americans killed due to Bush's decision to invade Iraq will surpass the number killed on 9/11/01 due to terrorist attacks.

9/11: 2,973 + 24 "missing" = 2,997
Iraq: 2,925

35 have been reported as killed so far in the first 8 days of December. At the current rate of US fatalities per day (4.375), Americans killed in Iraq will surpass those killed on 9/11 between 6am and noon on Christmas day.
