I think that site does track both. While I wouldn't say it's reasonable to blame us for insurgent deaths, which are quite substantial, it is reasonable to say the lack of a post war plan has contributed heavily to the deaths from insurgents and general violence.
As Colin Powell said, you break it you own it.
As for deaths attributed to US action alone, do a google search and you can find various articles. To say that thousands haven't been killed given the massive use of firepower doesn't really make any sense...unless you beleve our smart bombs are a lot smarter than we realize.
