269 reply's, most bashing America and the Administration, and not a SINGLE LINK to a Reliable FACT that backs up these numbers...
Welcome to the world of LEFTIST PROPOGANDA
MEANWHILE, the documented and PROVABLE deaths are:
Documented civilian deaths from violence 73,713 – 80,333 http://www.iraqbodycount.org/database/
Can someone explain to me why fallacies like this are allowed, and even REINFORCED by so many on the left?
A Couple of KOS'rs attemted to procvide the FACTS, but were largely ignored.....
The postings on this do provide a glimpse into the insane lunatics that have taken control of the Democratic Party.
"The Americans are the "bad guys" and prove it daily with their aggessive, selfish actions in the rest of the world. "
"Are we a civilized Nation if we consent to governed by serial killers?" (Are the Clinton's in charge again??!!)
"Impeachment is not an option ........It is a duty"
I ESPECIALLY liked this response!
"You know what? I didn't even read this diary. Just reading the title brings tears to my eyes, literally. I am reading an article in Foreign Affairs about how the Chinese are busting the whole world's environment by snuffing out their own arable land, potable water, and breathable air.
I really don't know how much more I can handle. Is that why I drink a scotch or two now almost every night? I used to not even care for it, choosing fine wines instead. Is it my environment, my inner rage that must be sedated?"
And THEN we have this doozy!
"You know there are some who are already predicting that Bush will attack Iran then declare a federal state of emergency, thereby canceling the '08 elections, with insane-Bush remaining in office, or handing off to other Republicans in line.
I wish I had your optimism that insane-Bush will be removed from office, but reality to date says not enough people care to remove the madman.
How bad must it get before we impeach the worst president and VP in the history of the USA???????"
They are both enemies of America!
“Sob, sob!. And leace Britney alone! Cry. Cry!”
Ignore them.
Who cares what the Kossuckers have to say about anything!
“Leace? Leace? Where’s my coffee?
What do you expect from people who are born with only two neurons and both neurons are waving goodbye to the other!
People, if all you do is wave your hands in the air and snicker or express outrage, you are as useless as they are.
The key to this is TIE IT TO HILLARY. It’s about winning. It’s not about anything else. A Hillary victory VINDICATES THESE WACKOS.
These people must always be referred to as sharing Hillary’s vision. They are Hillary’s base. They are Hillary’s campaign supporters. Always, no exceptions, Always refer to Kos and DU with Hillary’s name attached.
50-60% will be the new number by the end of the week.
Expose the left
that’s what will defeat them.
Hillary, and all democrats, need to be confronted publicly with statements like these and asked if they support these groups.
More Krazy Kos Kookiness from the 'CHIMPYBUSHITLER!!!!' screech choir.
Simply do the math.
4.5 years is 1642 days.
35% of Iraqis would be 8,750,000
8,750,000/1642 would be 532 Iraqis killed every day for the last 4.5 years.
OBVIOUSLY that is a lie.
“A Hillary victory VINDICATES THESE WACKOS.”
No, it does not. Only truth will vindicate them and they are so far from they can’t even begin to recognize it.
“They are Hillary’s base.”
Yep, and no greater gift to the Republican Party. In their ignorance, they have no idea they are handing us an election.
8,750,000/1642 would be 532 Iraqis killed every day for the last 4.5 years
The article didn't state 35% were killed. The article said 35% were "dead, maimed or refugees". The number of refugees alone could be more than 4 million.

I have not seen numbers for the Iraqis maimed but it is clear that a significant number of Iraqis are maimed for each one that dies in terrorist attacks.
Whether the 35% is correct is impossible to know accurately, but the number could be close to this range.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
Shouldn't any president who takes this oath seriously start defending the Constitution against the domestic enemies we see increasingly plainly?
My math was off. It would be 5328 Iraqi casualties EVERY day of the Iraq war.
Now, Let assume your absurd number 4 million of refugees is accurate. A number NO reliable source reports. The HIGHEST number is 2.2 million and even that is absurd since NO ONE can find these 2.2 million. Think 2.2 million refuges can just disappear? Where are they?
So 8,750,000 - 4,000,000 refugees = 4,750,00 /1642 = 2892
2892 killed or maimed Iraqis EVERY day of the Iraq war It would require a daily Iraqi civilian casualty rate significantly higher then the daily casualty rate of US forces in all it's 20th century wars combined to reach that figure.
Think the US "News" media would of ignored that sort of civilian body count in Iraq?
IT is a complete made up number with NO possible base in factual reality.
