billvon 3,131 #2 October 28, 2004 I thought one part of that story had a sort of cold humor to it: "They concede that their results need further verification, but say the conclusion remains clear: that violence is a major public-health problem in Iraq." Which seems like saying that radiation was a major public health problem in Hiroshima. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChasingBlueSky 0 #4 October 28, 2004 We used 3,000 deaths as a reason to invade two countries. I wonder what those angry family members will want to do to us now? This war may eventually end, the insurgents may go away....but this anger will be deep rooted and will haunt us forever. Why? Future generations will be born into a resentment against us. An eye for an eye only leaves us with blindness to see the folly of our ways._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

BUT QuoteA new report in the British-based medical journal The Lancet... QuoteSome information for this report provided by AP. The fact that a story about another story being published doesn't mean the VOA has any opinion on the subject. In fact, it looks like it almost ridicules the claim a bit. Even you must have a hard time believing that civilian casualties went from 10,000 or 30,000 to 100,000.Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juanesky 0 #6 October 28, 2004 Well, it was actually 99,540. The rest were actual enemy combatants. It is always incredible when they come up with figures were ALL are innocent casualties and no enemy forces."According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,131 #7 October 28, 2004 >It is always incredible when they come up with figures were ALL are > innocent casualties and no enemy forces. ?? It was a list of civilian deaths, not of military deaths. As far as I can tell, no one really cares how many Iraqi military have been killed. If it interests you, see if you can do a search and see what you come up with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, it looks like it almost ridicules the claim a bit. VOA -is- at least slightly biased toward favorable news or news that serves the purposes of the US. In some instances it's pretty fair and in others it's amazingly biased against the countries in which it airs. We, being in the US, don't usually get to listen to too much of the ultra targeted stuff.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
