Sadly, yes.

From The Talking Dog:

A grim, but inevitable statistical milestone was reached in the last day or two: "coalition" casualties have now crossed 1,000 dead. Nearly 900 of these are Americans, reflecting the rough ratios of deployment levels; the "international coalition" is largely a token, window dressing affair- not reflecting the underlying reality, which in Iraq, is that its largely, though not entirely, a unilateral American affair. Iraqi casualties have, by DOD fiat, not been counted (though estimates based on anecdotal hospital reports and the like show at least ten times that of the "coalition").
