This study says 655,000 possible dead (450,000-700,000 range) from polling families with death certificates. 13% are from American air bombing. Bush is just white washing this scientific survey with a comment saying "not accurate" I also read in the Minneapolis Tribune that during the height of Saddam's ehtnic cleansing, 40,000 died in the same amount of time. Are we as bad or worse than an evil tyrant even though we meant well? Also, naturally, 50,000 would have died in this period if not for the war and that violent death accounted for 65% of the deaths in the study.

Shrub can't be bothered with the facts. Just throw out a number and hope the crap sticks to the wall.

Bush suggested 30K 2 years in the past. there have been 2700 this previous September on my own so his numbers are off a touch. BTW. If all of us is tempted to say that "this is the insurgency it is doing the killing" or "this is Arab's killing Arab's, no longer US troops" bear in mind that those Arab's does no longer be killing different Arab's now if GWB had no longer made the alternative to bypass Iraq. He replaced into the catalyst so this is on his head. No volume of spin or rationalization will replace that.

I don't have enough information to form an opinion one way or the other. and most informed people I have read feel the same way. Bush said he doubted it--that is just political. When I get good information I will form an opinion.
Why did you think it was so important that you posted it twice?
