For shame!
Who did they poll?
The dead?
He has. Cheneyhalliburtonrovecondiricegeneralpetreusjudygarland has worked hard to cover it up, y'know.
This statistical BS is based on a telephone poll of “1461 adults”, and yet the left is taking it as absolute truth. They like it and accept it because the number is higher than the one they had been using. By this time next year, they will be claiming at least 2 million deaths.
Wowza! So some months ago some Brit bullcrap report told us 600.000 died during the last 3 years. Now ONE year later the number has more than doubled!? Total, unadultered bullcrap.
Loretta Sanchez will explain you that some lib pollsters can count better than our Generals.
This is just more balderdash from one group of leftist that the rest of the leftist will use to disturb the peace. They do it all the time, not just concerning the war.
So they polled people asking them what they think the civilian death toll would be? You mean they didn't actually go to Iraq to find out themselves? Funny.
... and yet the left is taking it as absolute truth.
Because the left supports the enemy in this war. The left wants us to be defeated. The left will support anything that is anti-USA because they themselves are anti-USA.
You sure about Halliburton? I haven't heard them being up to no good lately. I think they are slipping too.
Well Grand Moff Bush and Darth Cheney did destroy Alderaan. 100 Billion or so folks right there. He’s acually taking is easy on Iraq.
"Q: How many members of your household, if any, have died as a result of the conflict in Iraq since 2003 (i.e, as a result of violence rather than a natural death such as old age)? Please note that I mean those who were actually living under your roof."
Results:
None - 78% One - 16% Two - 5% Three - 1% Four or more - 0.002%
Of those 1,461 questioned 78% said NONE of their relatives died. Now regardless of this, it is obvious that you can't extrapolate those small sample (if accurate at all) to the entire population, since conditions in each town and region are totally different.
Hmm... Maybe the KOSKids have gotten to ‘em, holding them hostage...
“How many millions in a Brazilian?”
A whole lot! lol
I KNEW that Judy Garland was no damn good! Heh-heh
This happens every Saturday. Two weeks ago it was an article that said “civilian” deaths had doubled. Last week it was “civilian” deaths are skyrocketing.
The only reason for this Saturday release is to give talking points for Dims for tomorrow’s talk shows. They then quote the talk shows for the rest of the week.
We all fall into the trap of arguing whether the numbers are right or not. The real point is WHO is doing the killing? Our soldiers are there to PREVENT civilians from being killed and whatever the real number is it will certainly “skyrocket” if we pull out.
If I remember right; just one of the problems with the other polls that showed this high number polled people as to whether they had relatives killed and other relatives of theirs in the poll also answered in the affirmative also resulting in counting the dead more than one time and then extrapolating this.
Disagree with the first point you make. Those numbers are obviously false. It is right when we point this out and give the reasons. Why accept their false statistics? Call this BS what it is. The libs inconsistency and cherry picking is amazing. The UN for months trumpeted 200 civilians a day are dying. Then the idiotic Lancet report claimed 600,000 so far. A few months later we get 1,000,000 deaths. BTW I have the suspicion that this new numbers are intentionally exaggerated to give the Lancet report 600,000 deaths more credibilty, which are also BS nontheless.
You said everything that needed to be said.
FReepers please note: the Lancet is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and yet printed the completely specious statistics about 600K dead civilians in Iraq. When someone says “it must be right, its peer-reviewed”, just remember the Lancet.
