General Pace flubs up

General Pace, obvious Bush and war supporter makes a huge gaffe in his declaration of how many US soldiers have died in Iraq.

"When you take a look at the life of a nation and all that's required to keep us free, we had more than 3,000 Americans murdered on 11 September, 2001. The number who have died, sacrificed themselves since that time is approaching that number," General Pace told CBS Early Show's Harry Smith. "And we should pay great respect and thanks to them for allowing us to live free."

The death totals hover around 3466. I keep a shortcut to This Page on my Google page, in order to keep track of the official daily loses... not that I need anything new daily to hate Bush for.

The General also over estimated the death toll of deaths on 9/11, when he said, "more than 3000".

Pace appeared on a variety of television news programs Monday morning and the Pentagon has not responded (yet) to an inquiry by Raw Story.
