Bobert,

Thanks for providing your reasoning for the figure you are proferring as fact, when in reality you have just plucked it out of thin air, but haven't the guts, or integrity to admit it.

Civilian casualties were put at around the 1,250 - 1,450 mark by most of the worlds press, Iraqi sources in Baghdad and by Coalition sources. That is roughly half those experienced during the build up and period of "Desert Storm".

Your contention that every bomb, missile or shell fired is targeted to kill people conveys a rather simplistic notion of conduct of a modern war.

As predicted from the outset, the bulk of the Iraqi Army simply abandoned their positions and returned to civilian life - even members of RG and SRG did that - so the combat casualty figures will be much lower than than during "Desert Storm".

The only one I can see deliberately telling a lie is you in your post above - 100,000 Iraqi's killed in the course of the recent conflict. A lie Bobert, plain, simple and deliberate, with the express intention of misleading and inflaming people. And, having knowingly done that, you have got the gall to castigate Tony Blair for his statements to the House of Commons - At least Blairs utterances were based on far better grounded intelligence than yours.
