And just how is that "national governemnt" doing these days, T???

And on who's accountin' do you define "droves"??? Related question: What are your sources???

I remember makin' the statement that 100,000 Iraqis had died and you, I believe, and others jumped down my throat and stated, rather matter-of-factly that I was some kinda heretic... Your side had the numbers at somethin' like 14,000... Now we learn that I was way off as an independent estimate by an organization with no particular axe to grind has the numbers as much as 650,000!!!

So when I hear folks talking about "droves" and usin' terms like "national governemnt", yeah, there's that same ol' cynicism in tthe folks who have been telling the story... Especially seein' that the story tellers haven't been able to muffle the entire story and that Iraq has, as I and others predicted, fallen into civil war...
