Lil Timmah on MTP wallowed in the Walter Reed "scandal." His big point was that in WW2 we had 2 combat injuries for every combat death, something like 6 injuries for every death in Vietnam but now, now in Bush's Iraq war we have 16 injured for every dead soldier!

Gee, I guess he wants us to let them die... excuse me, abort their care... so that the statistics will be easier for the DBM to demagogue.

sheesh

To date, there have been 23,417 wounded in Iraq, with 13,168 being returned to duty within 72 hours.

Simply appalling. I guess it NEVER occurred to Timmy to think that the REASON for that number is we SAVE people who would have died in any other war. This is an example of supposed "Journalists" utterly misrepresenting the statistics to knowingly lie.

I also guess it is pretty much a useless exercise pointing out to these idiots the utter intellectual vacuity of trying to compare this war to any previous war we have ever fought. There are no similarities at all. Different Tactics, Different sort of Mission, Different sort of foes.

Even Vietnam was primarily a conventional war between North Vietnamese regular forces and the US/South Vietnamese forces. Iraq is like NO other war in our history.

And the worse thing. Russert KNOW this, KNOWS he is lying but simply doesn't care. He has become such a good little Gobbles that he simply doesn't care that he behavior utterly intellectually dishonest and totally contemptible. Advancing his "cause" is all that matters.

This goes beyond simply disagreeing with the policy, or having a different idea on how the mission should be going. Russert and his Democrat Party cronies are now out and out propagandizing for Al Qeda.
