OMG! Article says actually 200,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed!!
The conservative assumptions put the number at 100,000 - but including Fallujah brings it to 200,000!!! A fifth of a million people murdered for Cheney's Halliburton and BushBoy's defense contractor buddies! What f*cking despicable WAR CRIMINALS!!!!!!

:puke:
:argh:
:mad:

And Reich-winger nutjob Bill Bennett wondered where the outrage was over Bill Clinton's blowjob!!! Unf*ckingbelievable!!

1. But at least...
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 03:01 PM by slavkomae
...there are no more TORTURE CHAMBERS and RAPE ROOMS and MASS GRAVES!

OnEdit: Saddam was in power for 25 years. The US has been in Iraq for 1.5.

So, using the "conservative estimate" -- if Saddam had been as prolific as the Bushies, he would have killed 1.7 million people.

Which beats the most "liberal" estimates of how many he had killed by factor 4.

3. Amen, brother. Thank God for that!
All 200,000 civilians were undoubtedly terrorists!

4. I have been saying for years
that the casualty figures were vastly under-reported. This just shows the tragic results of Whistle ass's policies. BTW: I agree that Mr. Bill Bennett is a delusional nutjob.

10. Oh, but there is more!
What about the huge dose of depleted uranium shells? The Iraqi's are soaking in that stuff in many areas, so are our troops.

The cancer and birth defects are already showing up from the Gulf War in substantial numbers.

Oh, don't worry, it the stuff will break down in several million years and everything will be okay.

Depleted uranium is a shocking travesty and should not be used. I would never vacation or go to Iraq if it ever became stable, that's for sure.

15. 66 times as many that died on 9-11.
So Bush is that much worse than Osama bin Laden.

20. Don't you understand that 9-11 is the ONLY catastrophe that has ever
Occurred anywhere?? Life as we know it - as well as the entire universe itself changed on that day. Amen.

17. I have doubts about this
I don't really see how they came to this number from the article. I don't really buy it. sorry.
This FAR exceeds anything I have seen, even in the farthest left reaches of cyberspace.
200,000---it seems very unlikely.

22. That's why they've been avoiding the numbers.
We're not supposed to think that there are people involved.

23. This is genocide.
This is no different than what Hitler did, just different motives. Will there ever be justice for those people?
