5. Won't be that long until Bush has killed 4,000.

As we have heard, the toll would be so much higher if the body armor hadn't been improved to the point people who would have been killed in earlier days have managed to survive shots, and explosions.

Only through the protection of better equipment can we see that number this low currently, and ALL these deaths should never have happened.
