I said nothing of the kind. But Nicholas has said that "the act of
cowardness was attacking inocent civilians that wont or cant fight
back
under the circumstances." It sounds like something we've been doing
regularly in Iraq, right? So Nicholas has included the US in his
definition
of "cowards."

Since when have we been attacking civies?

Well, back on December 12th, Dubya said 30,000 Iraqis had been killed.
How
do you suppose that happened?

So the dudes driving tanks and the insurgents are civies???

I knew it. Gunner is saying all 30,000 were Iraqi soldiers and insurgents...

I knew it..Ed is saying none of those 30,000 were combatants....

Hang tight, Gunner. They're working on brain transplants, and you'll be
eligible any day now, if you keep posting like this. g

Nice spin. Only problem is...its the spin of a 3rd grader. I had hoped
for better of you.

If you read the fine print..you will note that they lump all
insurgents such as the feyadeen, Jihadist and so forth, into the same
body count as those killed by bandits, those feyadeen and Jihadists,
and so forth. Only a fraction of those deaths were caused by Allied
forces. As you will note..they count anyone killed as a result, of the
breakdown in law and order.

Right. Which fraction? Are you saying we're no worse than the WTC attackers?
Are you awake, or has somebody tied you up, and started typing on your
computer?


Read the fine print Ed...then get back to me.

The same with US KIAs. The body count for Allied troops includes
those killed in vehicle accidents, drownings, being run over by tanks
and so forth. About half or slightly more are actual deaths as a
result of enemy forces.

You really know better than to blather on like that Ed.

I really know when you're blathering, Gunner. You're trying to whittle the
number down to something under 4,000. Then you'll be happy and vindicated,
right?

Providing cites from a well known antiwar site..and you even then
attempt to not only spin my post..but the stats they have worked so
hard at collecting so they can demonize the war effort.

Now I know why the pharmacutical industry hired you. It must have been
tough though..deciding Pharmacutical..or the DNC staff writer job. I
feel your pain.

Holy smokes, man, wake up, will you?

Wake up to what? Wars suck. people get waxed. Been there, done that
while you were smoking dope under a bridge.

You really do hate the US, dont you? Your febrile attempts at making
things worse than even the anti war goups do..is noted..and found
contemptable.
