WHAT'S MISSING IN THIS PASSAGE?

Howard Kurtz wrote this in The Daily Beast:
Instead, history will record that Rumsfeld became a principal player in the Bush administration's drive to invade Iraq, which led to the execution of Saddam, the deaths of more than 4,400 American soldiers and a long, grinding war that will forever define his reputation.
I was first struck by the lack of mention of Iraqi civilian deaths, estimated to be from 99,383 to 108,514.  Other sources have placed the number even higher.
