Is it true more people have died since Bush* came to power throughout
the world than the entire eight years of Clinton. I'm talking about violent man created deaths and not deaths through natural disasters. I heard that stated but can't find any verification for it. If true a great talking point.

1. most deaths would probably be in the Congo
but that started in 1998.

But in Clinton's term, there were major wars in Yugoslavia and genocide in Rwanda. I doubt this claim.

2. Yes, Kerry will have to convince voters he can kill more

Luckily for him, the US has already begun low-grade invasions of Iran and Syria*, so breaking bush's World Deaths record is one promise Kerry can make with confidence!

Oh, and North Africa, too, but voters aren't as impressed by African deaths.

3. Just a thought
The number of Americans dying prematurely due to dirtier water and air is expected to be in the thousands anually. I'm not sure but I think the number was 30,000.

4. the bush regime has overseen the deaths of at least 30,000 people since
the puppet stole office.

Figure 3000+ on 9.11, 15,000+ in afghanistan (think daisy cutters) and close to 10,000 iraqi deaths and then the 1000+ and counting US soldiers.

He's got hussein outnumbered HUGE.

5. more Americans most likely
but I doubt overall. There was a lot of ethnic cleansing going on in the world while Clinton was president, but of course it wasn't his fault and he actually put an end to a lot of it.
