Iraqi's 100,000 Dead

WTG Bush.


"The first scientific study of the human cost of the Iraq war suggests that at least 100,000 civilians have lost their lives since their country was invaded in March 2003.

More than half of those who died were women and children killed in air strikes, researchers say.

Previous estimates have put the Iraqi death toll at around 10,000 - ten times the 1,000 members of the British, American and multi-national forces who have died so far.

But the study, published in The Lancet, suggested that Iraqi casualties could be as much as 100 times the coalition losses. It was also savagely critical of the failure by coalition forces to count Iraqi casualties."

I see you finally found a website that published the death totals you were hoping to see.

Did you say "oh... goodie" when you saw it?

Seems high but cheese happens when you drop a bunch of bombs.
If its correct, is that bad? The funny thing is that the very people who are saying its impossible will say it was inevetable if its proven true. Just like the terrorist links, just like the wmd.
If its proven true then the war supporters will say its a small price to pay for freedom.

I wonder if some of the brightest minds on this board are still waiting for the Iraqis to shower the invaders with flower pedals like they were in Feb 2003.

But 100 000 seems like a lot.

Actually I calculated that 100 million have died so far.

But I am only counting back to 3700 BC.
