Iraqi Dead May Total 600,000, Study Says
That is the headline in the New York Times.....today.
It is mind boggling. It represents four or five Hiroshima type attacks. It is approaching the number of those killed in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge time period. And that is recognized as an atrocity. Juan Cole has a very GOOD discussion for why this Might be accurate, tragically accurate for those people caught in the cross fire of the Neo-cons and the insurgents.
The wing nuts will ATTACK this study, as inaccurate, and quote DOD figures even though the DOD ignores many sources of deaths and even went so far as to only count people killed by gunshot last month ignoring those killed in a mortar or suicide style attack.
The people who started this unconscionable fiasco, have to answer for the inhuman conditions they fostered. Why they NEVER planned for security which is the first priority if you want to prevent this king of anarchy on the loose. Anarchy which to every one except for the sycophants in power is a CIVIL WAR.
Read the New York Times story, and then read Juan Cole's blog. Then, please with all your humanity, please then try to explain to me HOW you can still support these incompetent but criminal fools.

Did you hear Bush talking today, a reporter asked if if constantly resorting to empty threats and rhetoric hurts his credibility and the fool in chief responded after stuttering and stammering a while that the empty threats and rhetoric is the best path to diplomacy and solving the problem, that halfwit wouldnt know diplomacy if it bit him on the a$$!
