My target was peace, and is peace.
I was opposed to the invasion in the first place.

First, I'd just like to say that not all Americans are for the war; I am one and I'm against it (and any war, for that matter). The president has a 32% approval rating (or something like that), which means that about a third of the country doesn't know what's going on. I can't think of anyone that would support the president and be politically involved...or a racist.
Bush invaded Iraq, thinking that he would be some hero with his "irrefutable" evidence which was wrong, so it's not irrefutable. Then a war broke out and tons of lives are being lost to a small group of idiotic political leaders.
The president and his administration have no "target" for the number of lives they should claim, which I suppose is a good thing, but it's still bad that they don't pull out. They're in there longer than they would've been, and the only real reason the president won't order the troops to come back home is because that would be admitting he was wrong. Apparently his pride is more important than thousands of lives.
The whole situation is pretty ****ed up and I think it's going to stay that way until someone more competent takes over. I sincerely hope that's soon.

Everyone is just jumping on this band-wagon like I figured they would when this number came out. Do the research as to how this number was actually figured out:
The survey was conducted between May 20 and July 10 by eight Iraqi physicians organized through Mustansiriya University in Baghdad. They visited 1,849 randomly selected households that had an average of seven members each. One person in each household was asked about deaths in the 14 months before the invasion and in the period after.
Now, you tell me exactly how accurate this number is..

Since it bothers you so much (assuming you care for the loss of either Iraqis or American lives) what are you doing to promote your government to take action in stopping this war? It's pretty easy to point a finger and criticize when a spectator. But I'm sure you're country has never in it's history done anything that others in the world disapproved of.

Iraq conflict started 3 1/2 years go. If 650000 people have been killed in Iraq that means at least 500 people a day have died in Iraq. Please show me one reputable source which show 500 Iraqi's dying in one day...

And you got this number where? Why is it that many people when asking a question just pull something out of thin air and say it is a fact?
The target is to have peace in this region. Hopefully that will not take forever to get there.

Try and find out what is the casualties before and after the fall of Iraq?
Find out what is the casualties after the fall of Iraq.
Then you will see who is doing more damages among themselves.
Do you belive in ghost stories of the casualties out there?

the problem is the fact that you or i have nothing to do with it, (but you're blaming me all the same.)
the day you get to control the military decisions of your country, and i get to control mine - ask again.
ameriCANS didnt target ANY deaths. its about 12 people that are in control and threaten each other like children, but get to play their games with living pieces and bombs. besides. we dont know what's really going on. we cant. its all secrets and lies.

The target is to keep killing until you stop shooting back.
