I understand that they were counting people killed in war against Iran (whose side was US on? Both sides? Was that against the middle?) but even if we grossly overstate the number of Iraqi dead then (2m) we still got a million widows. Oh shut up, lulu was explaining about the dog.<BR/><BR/>edkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-21323249257548064092009-02-24T19:19:00.000-06:002009-02-24T19:19:00.000-06:00Tommy, it's ironic that you mention this, Tues. jo...Tommy, it's ironic that you mention this, Tues. joke line was briefly on the 'on point' show, and he went on about how we've had peace and prosperity since WW II. I'm with you, when can we have a generation of peace?

And remember Jimmy Carter's role in el salvador, nicaragua and east timor. Sure, Obama is a welcome change....to that cabal of replublican devils, but it is still the same mass murdering govt, and the still the same CIA, USAID, DEA etc...<BR/>He must be fought, as any citizen of a mass murdering govt has a responsibility too.<BR/>And this NPR wash...is a sign that the elite, are not 'experts' as all. But just being good germans.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And I should not have been surprised that masses of people did not at least TRY a general strike in all our cities in lead up to invasion of Iraq, let alone afghanistan. Instead we held up signs. For the most part. <BR/>I don't know about you, but I still seethe with loathing at all the democrats who allowed the dirty wars...in latin america....I litterally grind my teeth daily over them...<BR/>and Iraq.Tommy Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021174161569472010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-30684675439253981932009-02-24T09:57:00.000-06:002009-02-24T09:57:00.000-06:00Apparently, Lourdes Garcia-Navarro thinks her list...Apparently, Lourdes Garcia-Navarro thinks her listeners are too stupid to see the glaring inconsistencies in her own statements in just that one piece.<BR/><BR/><BR/>"Estimates of the number of Iraqis killed overall vary wildly, from <B>tens of thousands</B> to hundreds of thousands."<BR/><BR/>"The Web site Iraq Body Count compiles its data from reports by the media and accounts from the Iraqi government and NGOs.
