maybe he was more than willing.  but we have found no proof that he was doing it.  (not 'had ever'  but was doing at the time we invaded)

you can go as far back as you like in Osamas past, back to where he recieved help from us.  (seems like it was the early 80's when we called him a freedom fighter.  but then he confined his terroist activities agains the ussr.  thats the difference between a terrorist and afreedom fighter, right? whos side they are on.)

we've sold WMD, as well as conventional arms, we've trained terrorists, that's not the issue.  

the issue is was he complying at the time of invasion, and since it was a UN directive that he was required to comply with, did the UN ask us to invade?

what the chart doesn't show is that in all probability, the deaths from other causes either stayed the same or increased.  on top of the aditional 700 deaths.

the Iraqi combat deaths are in adition too, not instead of.


I couldn't find 2003. Anyone else have any luck?

Your assumption may well be incorrect. In my years in the Air Force, accidental deaths went down in years of conflict. It almost seemed that when real danger was present, folks were more careful. I believe this was documented study I read while I was in.

So you may be right, but you might be wrong as well. I don't think you can make that generalization as yet. Be nice if someone could find 2003 data.

Still looking, found this, still not conclusive either way but it may indicate that people AREN'T more careful in wartime. Seems accidental deaths are up as well as hostile deaths.

Despite war's end, military deaths a growing concern

At current rates, in fiscal 2003 Marines are having their worst year for serious on-duty accidents in 11 years, and the Navy in five years, according to official safety statistics. Meanwhile, the Army's number of serious on-duty ground accidents - as well as resulting fatalities - have more than doubled so far this fiscal year.

btw- toad,  I forgot to mention, thanks for the info you did find.  the chart did provide some useful info.  on re-reading my "where's 2003", post I kinda came off sounding like the info was useless since we didn't have the 2003.  didn't mean it that way, just that we needed more pieces.

That's a normal DOD site. I expect they just haven't compiled/posted 2003 as yet.

No offense taken. I don't view you as one of the board's bungholes. ;)

I just don't agree with you sometimes. Generally, you're a poster worth reading that does so without the ad hominem stuff.

Pongo, were you aware that a Canadian civilian was killed by a crazed mob in Iraq this past week? Im just curious if canadian news reported it.

Ya  He was from here. An ex royal marine now living in Victoria. Working as a Merc for 1000 US per day. He left a beutifle wife and 3 very young kids behind.

$1000 per day is pretty good change. I wonder how much a Marine lance corporal makes per day?

Can you explain to me exactly how Haliburton figures into the war with Iraq. I understand the Cheney connection, but there's got to be more to it than that.

Exactly how much has Haliburton profited from the war with Iraq and how has this helped George W. Bush wither politically or financially.

I know the lefties just love to say this one word when they don't know what else to say, but I'm guessing most don't even know what the connection is.

And please don't link me to a "Tower 7" websight. Thanks.
