U.S. Sustains 3,000th Fatality in Iraq

A sad milestone to usher in 2007.

An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:

The Pentagon announced the death of a Texas soldier on Sunday, raising the number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq to at least 3,000 since the war began, according to an Associated Press count and an authoritative Web site tracking war deaths.

The milestone was crossed on the final day of 2006 and at the end of the deadliest month for the American military in Iraq in the past 12 months. At least 111 U.S. service members were reported to have died in December.
