A new survey of deaths in Iraqi households estimates that as many as 100,000 more people may have died throughout the country in the 18 months since the U.S.-led invasion than would be expected based on the death rate before the war.


..and this morning's radio newscast (WQXR- New York City) called this a "conservative number".

So, now that we KNOW conclusively that Bush's hands are dripping with the blood of innocent Iraqi men, women and children in numbers that exceed (30) 9/11s in a quest for non-existent WMDs, and furthermore, has allowed deadly explosives to be carried off by terrorists and insurgents WILL PEOPLE GET THE F*CKING MESSAGE? I want the shit-ass media to repeat this 100,000 number like a mantra until Nov. 2nd, though I doubt it based on past performance.

At least can we get the name "Bloody Bush" into the discourse?

2. Have we beat Saddam yet?

I bet he looks at the papers and says, "Damn! I thought my record was unbeatable!"


This is a holocaust, and a crime against humanity. We killed these people in a country that didn't attack us, didn't have weapons, and wasn't threatening us in any way. Any danger they might have posed could have been handled with UN inspectors on the ground. All human rights abuses could have been stopped with UN troops keeping watch, along with sanctions. Nobody had to die. Not Iraqis, not Americans, not British, not even the Poles. NO ONE HAD TO DIE.
