Does anyone have the American casualty statistics for May? How do they compare to May of 2005? And why no news about this?
And this excellent reply from Pisano was
May 2006=57 KIAs
May 2005=67 KIAs
Talk about an inconveient truth!
It's not about these specific deaths, which are all, individually, tragic. It's about the propoganda being force fed to the American people by the drive by media.
I heard on a local radio talk show last week, that the statistics for violent (not accidents) deaths to civilians in Iraq in 2005...was 25 per 100,000 persons..
I Washington DC, during the same period, was 45 per 100,000, and in Detroit and Chicago, in the 30's per 100,000...I can't remember Los Angeles..but it was also higher than in Iraq..
NOW, I am sure if you want to compare just Baghdad, it would be higher, but that would just highlight how much more calm the outer part of Iraq is...IMHO>
