I've no idea what sort of trick you are tricking. The first site I cited in
my previous note on this subject also provided that information:

Hey, Lawrence, since you don't care about Arabs, dead or alive, how about
Americans?
Here's a question for you: can you accurately tell me how many Americans
have died in Iraq?
Yes, that's a trick question, because the US government's answer is not the
correct answer.
They're lying, just as they lie about the number of dead Iraqi. After all,
it's just dead
lower class people, right?
So, go ahead: how many Americans have died in Iraq?
yrs,
