This is what will push that number up if it is true.

| WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials say the Iraqi leadership has drawn "a red line" around the map of Baghdad and once American troops cross it Iraqi Republican Guards have been authorized to use chemical weapons, U.S. television networks reported on Monday. |
Unlike allied soldiers, civilians in those areas do not have masks and suits. Let's hope that either the report is wrong, or that the Iraqi troops ignore that particular order.
