The 100k figure is from several months ago (so it'll be more by now), and reflects the increase in deaths when compared to expected number of deaths had America not attacked.

So, you could say that America, in a way, bears responsibility for these deaths, but it the amount of responsibility isn't the same for all. Both "collateral damage" from bombings is included as well as deaths caused by insurgents/the resistance (the name depending on your point of view). Clearly, America bears much more responsibility for the former than for the latter.
