During a speech on the war on terror (October 6, 2005) bush said:
When 25 Iraqi children are killed in a bombing, or Iraqi teachers are executed at their school, or hospital workers are killed caring for the wounded, this is murder, pure and simple -- the total rejection of justice and honor and morality and religion.
Later during a question and answer session bush said:
THE PRESIDENT: How many Iraqi citizens have died in this war? I would say 30,000, more or less, have died as a result of
the initial incursion and the ongoing violence against Iraqis
The white house has this posted on their website at:

Just an additional note, bush said:
Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass
destruction
As the worlds largest holders and most vigorous creators of more weapons of mass destruction, and as the nation that has attacked more countries in the world than any other in the last ten (50) years. And as the country that accounts for over half of the worlds military spending and is the worlds largest exporter of weapons and military training, by president bushs own definition we are not and can never be a free nation as long as we continue the military practices that he and our congressman and senators promote.
