At least 85,694 Iraqis lost their lives from 2004 to 2008 in violence, the Iraqi government said today in its first comprehensive tally released since the war began. Another 147,195 were wounded during that four-year period, says the Human Rights Ministry. The number includes Iraqi civilians, military, and police, but not insurgents, US troops, or other foreign forces or contractors. It also excludes the first months of the war after the 2003 invasion.

I will look later to see if they said anything about who killed most of those people. It wasn't terrorists was it? Naw, they didn't kill anybody with their car bombs and their suicide bombs. I am pretty sure that Iraq didn't try very hard to tell the real truth about all of that.

I guess I read that insurgents and other terrorists were the most common killers of all those people. I really thought they would say that American military killed most of them, which we know would be an outright lie.

No, the American military didn't kill the vast majority of them. However, they were killed mostly because of the Bush Administration's decision to invade and occupy Iraq. This is on the heads of Bush & Cheney.
