Household Survey Sees 100,000 Iraqi Deaths

Holy crap! The U.S. military is a bunch of killers.

A survey of deaths in Iraqi households estimates that as many as 100,000 more people may have died throughout the country in the 18 months since the U.S.-led invasion than would be expected based on the death rate before the war.

Worse than that, the U.S. military is bunch of baby-killers.

The survey indicated violence accounted for most of the extra deaths seen since the invasion, and airstrikes from coalition forces caused most of the violent deaths, the researchers wrote in the British-based journal.

“Most individuals reportedly killed by coalition forces were women and children,” they said.

Funny, I don’t remember being trained to be an evil bastard. Maybe we should look a little closer at this.

There is no official figure for the number of Iraqis killed since the conflict began, but some non-governmental estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000. As of Wednesday, 1,081 U.S. servicemen had been killed, according to the U.S. Defense Department.

The scientists who wrote the report concede that the data they based their projections on were of “limited precision,” because the quality of the information depends on the accuracy of the household interviews used for the study.

….

The report was released just days before the U.S. presidential election, and the lead researcher said he wanted it that way.

Oh, my bad. It’s just a political hit. Chalk me up as really freakin’ surprised.

By the way, these guys would’ve had a field day with our WWII air tactics in Europe. Hell, their fun might have led to our defeat. Sadly, these idiots are blind to the scope of the Islamist threat we face today and feel obligated to parade their admittedly-biased crap to all.
