That's 3 "bye the byes" for you in one day, T, so I hate to tell ay that you have struck out...

Awww, jus' funnin'...

Well, in the case you have have linked, which BTW wasn't in a, ahhhhh, friggin war zone where every plane is armed to the teeth, no one died...

No one died when I stalled the 210 and sent it into a free fall either...

Difference is that that there is a *difference3*... Yeah, I'll be the first to admit that there were flights in Iraq where folks were jus' jus' joy-riding, 'er doing recon but those flights, given that this was a war zone weren't the average day at the office...

I think, if you were to really ***think*** (I know that you ain't being paid to, ahhh, think...) about it you'd admit that the bulk of the sorties flown over Iraq weren't sight seeing or recon but maybe they were... I doubt it...

BB is up to at least 17,000 of the 30,000 not being sight seein' or pleasure flights so I think that it is not unreasonable for any thinking person to perhaps, jus' perhaps, thinki that maybe a lot of these flights were flights where there were targets and bombs...

(But, Bobert, how could this be in a war zone???)

Call it a "lucky guess"...

So back to the original premise... Bewenn what I have suggested and ehat BB has suggested there were a lot of bombs dropped on Iraq...

Do you know how large Iraq is, T???

Do you know how little of Iraq would be considered "military targets", T???

Now if you were to take away that portion of Iraq where I believe we can have a general consensus that there are no tragets of military value and reduced it to land size I believe that rather than bombing an area the size of Texas we are really talking about bombing an area the size of Rhode Island...

Are you with me this far, T???

So here we have between 17,000 bombs (BB's figure) and upeards of 100,000 bombs fallin' on an area no larger than Rhode Island... Throw in millions and millions of rounds otr tank, artillery and small arms and your 35,000-38,000 figure of Iraqi deaths is beyond comprehension to anyone with any level of "military science" training...

In other words, your numbers are so deep in the area of "fuzzy math" that it would take both Oral Roberts and Jesus Christ to budge 'um a millimeter... That, my friend, is the reality of your arguments... Yeah, you'd love to pin me down... Problem is that you dn't have a credible alternative story... All you have is worn out mythology and propaganda that any college debate team would drop into a shreader as if it was air... No, amke that hot air...

Thin about what you are suggesting, T... It is unbeleiveable... 35,000??? Come on man, quit making a fool out of yourself... We both know you are as wrong as wrong can be...
