[kpete]

President Thanks Naval Medical Staff After His Annual Physical
National Naval Medical Center
Bethesda, Maryland

1:40 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: I'm just amazed at the health care here at Bethesda. The Admiral runs an amazing operation. And it's really important for our citizens to know that if one of our men and women get hurt on the battlefield, they're going to get incredibly good health care.

And, Admiral, I can't thank you and your staff enough for serving this country with great dignity and class.

ADMIRAL ROBINSON: Thank you very much.

THE PRESIDENT: Appreciate -- appreciate being here. God Bless. Thank you.

I'm doing fine; my health is fine. I probably ate too many birthday cakes.

Benchmarks: Casualties in Iraq climb again


From July 21 through July 27, 169 U.S. soldiers were injured in Iraq at an average rate of 24.14 per day. This was an increase of more than 70 percent on the rate of 14.25 injured per day during the previous eight-day period from July 13 through July 20 when 114 U.S. soldiers were wounded in Iraq.

As of July 27, 19,157 U.S. soldiers have been injured in Iraq since the start of hostilities.

The latest rate of U.S. troops wounded per day was significantly worse than the figure of 178 U.S. troops wounded over the 15-day period from June 29 through July 12 at an average rate of 11.2 per day, a figure less than half the most recent rate..

..................

As of July 27, 8,773 of these U.S. troops were wounded so seriously that they were listed as 'WIA Not RTD' in the DOD figures -- in other words, Wounded in Action Not Returned to Duty. This marked an increase of 112 such casualties in only seven days at an average rate of 16 per day. This rate was more than three times worse than the 101 such casualties recorded in the previous 23 days at an average rate of just under 4.4 per day. Or the eight days before that when 52 U.S. troops were wounded in action and not returned to duty at an average rate of 6.5 per day.
