    Subject: You won't see this in your local paper or TV station. They will have everyone believe that there is a huge escalation since Iraq in order to discredit the President.

    Figures so noted with an asterisk (*) indicates deaths as a result of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
    You may initially feel confused when you look at these figures - especially when you see that in 1980, during the term of President Jimmy Carter,there were 2,392 US military fatalities. What this clearly indicates is that our media and our politicians pick and choose and tend to present only those facts that support their agenda driven reporting.
    Another fact our media and politicians like to slant is that these brave men and women losing their lives are minorities.
    Wrong again.
    The latest census shows the following:
    European descent (white).........69.12%
    Hispanic.........................12.5%
    African American.................12.3%
    Asian.............................3.7%
    Native American...................1.0%
    Other.............................2.6%
