Notes:
i. And the price of crude oil is at 97.9 dollars a barrel today. NYMEX.
ii. The avg price of gas in the Santa Cruz area is 3.77, down from last week. AAA
iii. The cost of U.S. War and occupation in Iraq is around about 558,213,000,000 for the country, while it has cost Santa Cruz county nearly 713.1 million for total Iraq war. National Priorities
iv. The number of Iraqis slaughtered in Iraq is estimated to be at about 1,267,401
v. The number of U.S. Soldiers killed is now at 4174. This of course does not include suicides.
vi. Of course we have to address army suicides, which are on a pace to become an all time high. The record was set in 2007 when there were 115 suicides. The Army says there have been 62 confirmed suicides by active duty members in 2008, with 31 unconfirmed cases that appear to be suicides.
(side note: we may begin to refer to Iraq Body Count, rather, although just foreign policy did a great job explaining how they came up with the number. I have decided to go with the other, as they site news sources. Not 100 percent on either. If you have feedback, please comment.)
