Mutiny In Iraq

Discussion in 'Sports and News' started by Fenian_Bastard, Dec 17, 2007.

  1. I think you're being unreasonable, Yawn.
    Plenty of us hate this president -- I do -- but only a crazy person would fit what you just said.
    I don't claim those people anymore than you would claim an abortion clinic bomber (I hope).

    Oh, and as if a million people need to die to make George Bush look bad.

    He does a plenty good job of that with no help at all.

    "Bullshit"

    That's a solid, mature, balanced answer . . . yessiree.

    Our precious leaders fought the wrong war for their own, multiple, precious purposes.

    That's failing to do your job.

    These folks are supposed to be public servants.

    In that area of responsibility, these folks have been wholesale public failures.

    Take it from there.

    I'm just saying...look, Okie and Yawn have gotten past the blind yelling and are actually discussing things. I just wish others would try it.

    Now I'll back away.

    But on that note, I have to leave the discussion to tend to other matters...

    Is 70,000 enough to suit this theory of political vulnerability? Is 80,000? 100,000? 500,000? 1 million? 1.4 million?

    There are only estimates because we don't actually bother to keep track.

    Q: How many members of your household, if any, have died as a result of the conflict in Iraq since 2003 (ie as a result of violence rather than a natural death such as old age)? Please note that I mean those who were actually living under your roof.

    None 78%
    One 16%
    Two 5%
    Three 1%
    Four or more 0.002%

    Given that from the 2005 census there are a total of 4,050,597 households this data suggests a total of 1,220,580 deaths since the invasion in 2003. Calculating the affect from the margin of error we believe that the range is a minimum of 733,158 to a maximum of 1,446,063
     
  11. I'm still waiting for one name.
    One "liberal" or "Democrat" who can be said to be cheering for US troops to die because it is politically advantageous.
    One name.
