The question I never see asked is:
How many of the 14,298 civilians were TERRORISTS???
How many were blown up or used as shields by the terrorists?
Since the TERRORISTS do not wear uniforms, they are considered "innocent civilians" and no one questions this.
It's useful that you raise these issues, even if you do it rather half-heartedly or at least in a resigned way.
It might do well to aquire a ready skepticism toward all these "statistics" generated by Islamo-facist leaning outfits knowing that lying propaganda is the primary terrorist "war weapon"...they do their best fighting in the "theater of the mind".
And they excel in working to pit the enemy against themselves by fomenting confusion and misunderstanding in the citizen ranks of their enemy. ( One might conclude that the pagans are leading the race at this juncture if confusion and cross-purposes are any guage of things.)
Take heart. Don't give up the race...the battle will be won and we will prevail.
Even more pathetic is the politicization of a "respected medical journal" (The Lancet). It's one thing for, say, the NYT to be biased -- medical and scientific journals should value objectectivity above scoring political points.
I valued their opinions more before they joined the anti-smoking and global warming nonsense.
I was thinking that too. Smart money says that the 650,000 figure will still be used though.
The Left was saying 1,000,000 dead Iraqis in 2004. And they predicted we would "soon" see tens of yhousand dead US troops.
