"The number of sorties was published in the Washington Post at least 5 years ago, T... and it was closer to 35,000 than 30,000..." - Bobert.

Bobert how very unlke you to play down an important number like that. Five years ago you say, so that adjusts the comparison as follows:

"with less than 10% of the bombers available; flying at most 9% of the missions; in less than 8 weeks managed to kill double the number of casualties inflicted on the Germans during the entire six years of the Second World War.

In the words of John McEnroe - "You just cannot be serious!!"

The numbers simply do not add up, to anyone gifted with a modicum of common-sense. No doubt Bobert you will continue to rant on about your one million dead Iraqis because one thing no-one could ever accuse you of would be your abundance of common-sense.

Oh still looking for those "dnaged kies" you reckon I bought - do they taste good??
