#1 So it's 4%.
They shouldn't have screwed with us.
Do it again and we'll make it 40.

#2 Lancet study? They are still kicking around that discredited piece of shite?

#3 A million? (Says the headline) I thought Lancet 'counted' 600,000. There's been 400,000 since then? Where is the outrage, indeed!

Oh, and the outrage for Darfur? Rwanda? Zimbabwe? North Korea? Cambodia? Kurds? Jews?

#4 They quote, once again, the disreputable Johns Hopkins study. The moonbats won't let go of that.

#5 Let's not forget that Iraqis and their neighbors were being killed by Saddam and his cronies day after day before his government was conquered. The current estimate of people not killed by Saddam is 270822 since "Mission Accomplished". Further, many of the casualties since then were in fact due to deposed Saddam and his dead enders. So, trying to judge if things are going well or poorly in Iraq should focus on indicators different than than the casualty count, like newspapers, GDP, sanitation, electrification, infant mortality or consumer sentiment.

#6 The results were published in the highly regarded medical journal Lancet in October 2004.

I know it WAS highly regarded, but is it STILL?

#7 There is no "accurate count." There will be no accurate count. This is all speculation and BS. "Unknown Percentage of Iraqi Civilians Killed in War" just doesn't make a good headline.
