To the ADMIN, the format of that post is forced by the fact that when in the composing forum for the post the "ENTER" key does not work. This is the third or fourth post that this has happened on. I am a low speed phone link, but have posted many times and this problem started about three weeks ago, estimated.
I thought those people died because their leader violated the terms of the ceasefire from first Gulf War. Any other reasons, real, assumed, or otherwise, was to help get more people on board with that core cause.
Didnt you start the thread showing we did NOT in fact go in to steal their oil only a few days ago or was that someone else? I mean...it should have been blatantly obvious to anyone that we didnt seize their oil in either the 1st OR 2nd war with Iraq even though...lets be honest...if we wanted to we could have easily...so that argument is just so completely wrecked you would think people would be embarrassed to continue to raise it. And yet...It certainly couldn't have anything to do with all those Iraqis living on somebody's OIL, or not? Let's see. Iraqis got sand. Iraqis got sand fleas. Iraqis got scorpions. Iraqis got OIL. I wonder if coinky - dink is operating subliminally here, or not?
I think in their body count they choose to add in all the dead caused by the Islomo-extremists that continue to kill people. The rationale of course being that if Bush hadnt gone to war they wouldnt be killing Iraqis. And OK...you can even cede that point, but then you would HAVE to go to door number two which says yes...but if Bush hadnt gone to war with Iraq Saddam Hussein would still be in power and his own personal record of genocide is rather impressive as well. Better to just stick with the talking points about the eeeeevil George Bush killing Iraqis and be done with it.A range of 174,000 to 1,000,000 - that is a vast difference.
What this really tells me: they have absolutely no clue. No system for cataloguing, calculating or deciding this factor. What does this mean? The government there doesn't care about their populous at all.
Killed by...who exactly?
OK...killed by Muslim extremist terrorists...got it. And how many might have died under Saddams hand based on his track record?Killed as a result of them living in a war zone.

:lamo If all people wanted was his oil there were much easier ways to go about getting it. SURELY you know a thing or two about the man and his history...correct? BS. You keep pumping up that 'war for oil' drama, baby...it looks PERFECT on you.We don't steal the OIL outright. It is now in the Western Centralized Distribution Network for Energy and being traded in US Dollars. Many US energy corporations are now profiting handsomely from the spoils of war and actually from selling the gov't the energy to fight the war and armaments suppliers have profited handsomely as well. You don't think this war was about liberty and justice, or do you? War is good business, and business is good. And only a million or so dead.

And all those dems that voted to support the war...and all of them that cited Iraqs WMDs both before and after Bush was elected. Surely you include them...right?Sort of the point. Saddam may have thousands of Iraqi dead on his conscience. The war of choice initiated by the lead buffoon, GWBush, put the deaths of about a million on ol' GW's conscience. So he has the record for Iraqi kills by several orders of magnitude.
It would be a more compelling argument if we actually ended up with more oil than sand fleas or scorpions.
We should have taken the oil. That would have been the best thing for Iraqis.
Saddam may have thousands of Iraqi dead on his conscience.
Well...the kind of ignorance that originates with a hatred of 'the guy' and a willingness to overlook all the other factors.Hundreds of thousands, via genocide alone. Starvation for hundreds of thousands more. Invading Iran cost hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.
Many hundreds of thousands (more than a million), over an about 20 year period, through genocide, starvation and the invasion of neighbors.
What kind of ignorance allows for Bush to be responsible for more Iraqi deaths than the 20 year genocidal dictator?

This does not (as your 1 million stat does, include natural deaths and routine accidents). If we include non-intentional murder, natural events and accidents, then Saddam's number approaches 10 million.

Anything without links is BullCrap.
Dave, we don't need links to know the numbers. It's common knowledge.
Invasion of Iran: 500k (dead Iraqis)
Genocide of Kurds: 200k
Genocide of Marsh Arabs: 50k
Starvation via selling baby and child food: 400k
That's 1.1 million, just on the invasion of neighbors, genocide and direct starvation. He also slaughtered many thousand and staved countless while spending all the country's cash on rape palaces.
He institutionalized rape, Dave.
