Rall's got a lot of batteries running low as it were...
Ted Rall, Michael Moore, Dean, Pelosi, the gifts that keep on giving. They can hire all the Lakoffs they want, but their true colors just keep shining through.
Lack of support for the Iraq War, perhaps. Support for these clowns, no way.
Sounds like a classic cranial rectal inversion to me.
Well, hope springs eternal, eh Rall? Snort.
So what is he retracting?
A: The made up 9,000 figure dead.
B: His assertion in the "cartoon" that a soldier is not counted as dead, unless he dies "IN" Iraq.
Nice how the E&P runs the moronic commentary of the "cartoon," with nary a word to indicate that the commentator is wrong. Drudge reported on his show a few weeks ago the Iraqi death count included soldiers not in theater.
Rall is an uncartoonist in my book, and not worth my time.
DU pushed the 9,000 number for a while as well.
Sounds like he bought into Molly Ivan's articles. She has since also retracted her count of 9000.
Ted,
Please send a note to Cindy Sheheen that you're glad her son is dead and got what he deserved. That's what you have said about other Americans killed in Iraq. You have cheered for those who are doing the killing.
PS: that 9,000 number is way wrong. There have been many more than 9,000 mass graves found in Iraq containing Saddam's victims.
Sorry the 9,000 figure didn't work out for you Ted. One can hope though right? We know you are disappointed that there aren't greater numbers to help your 'cause'.
Ted is just another POS....sigh..
Quotes from Rall's source:
"The educated rumor is that the actual death toll is in excess of 7,000."
"The DoD lists currently being very quietly circulated indicate almost 9,000 dead, over 16,000 seriously wounded (This figure is now over 24,000 Ed)"
"educated rumor"? What the hell's an educated rumor other than whacko blather and spittle? Quietly circulated DoD lists. Where are these lists being kept and if its so quiet how come scum like you "know" about it? (Play them song from Twilight Zone here)
