CarolC was the first to post about The number of Iraqi civilians killed by the US led invasion and occupation in this thread Date: 04 Jun 06 - 02:45 PM but she accuses others.

No I wasn't Fernando. Pay attention.

When I posted what I did about numbers of civilian deaths in Iraq, I was expanding upon something that was said by number 6, who is the one who brought that subject up.

Do try to keep up, won't you?


pdq, the Lancet study was peer reviewed. The opinion piece you posted (without attribution) came some guy (named Michael Fumento - never heard of him) with an opinion.

Actually, my figure of 600,000 was in error. I multiplied 200,000 by three (three years) instead of two (two times 18 months). So that number should have been 400,000. So that would make the per 100,000 figure for civilian deaths due to the invasion and occupation more like around 270.

But hey, they're only ragheads and sand monkeys, so why should we be concerned?
