Where did *you* get that statement?
My number is from:

Even the most conservative counts (those that count actual bodies)
have it at just under 100,000.

"More than half of the members of Iraq's parliament rejected for the
first time on Tuesday the continuing occupation of their country. The
U.S. media ignored the story"

"As early as August of 2003, five months after the invasion, a Zogby
poll found that two-thirds of Iraqis wanted the U.S. and British
forces to leave the country within a year, and more than half said
that the Iraqis should be left alone to set up their own government.
Two years later, as Iraqis were about to vote in their first
democratic election, two-thirds wanted the Coalition troops out
either immediately or as soon as the new government was established."
All that aside, can you imagine a foreign country's military
occupying your town?
