The Result of War and The Run Up to War


U.S. Military Deaths in Iraq at 3,705

As of Friday, Aug. 17, 2007, at least 3,705 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003.....

At least 3,046 died as a result of hostile action.....

Subtracting 3,046 from 3,705 means that 659 troops died as a result of "non hostile" action. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking, suicide, friendly fire, disease, fragging, must be other reasons as well. Since when are these things non hostile?

Iran has responded to the Bush administration classifying the Iran military as a terrorist organization.

Can someone explain to me the intelligence behind escalating war talk. Here I'm thinking war is the ultimate breakdown of intelligence.
