Yeah, T-ster, I'll admit that I did pluck the 100,000 deaths out of "thin air" becuase, at least for now, those who might know the answers to this, also control the media and so, yeah, it will take some sorting out. But we read accounts of road ways from Bahgdad to Syria, littered with one burned out car after another with burned corpses. No, we weren't allowed to see the pics, again becuase guess who controls the media.

You don't know how many Iragi's died and more than I do, T., but if you'll come up with a *realistic* number of total *total causualties* (military and civilian), heck, I'll be glad to use that figure. It's important that we not sanitize what has occured in Iraq as a result of the invasion to the point that the discussions become some un-humanly academic. So, you pick the number, T, and, like I said, if it's "reasonable", I'llm use your number until the historians cut through the sandbagging by the Bush/Blair machine.

Deal?
