Bush is directly responsible for 5128 American deaths since he took office

[Renew Deal]

3030 9/11
1868 Iraq
228 Afghanistan
5128 total


Now lets be clear on how I got these numbers. Bush was vacationing while "historical information" came that said Osama about to attack in the USA.

1868 dead american soldiers based on a lie in Iraq.

228 dead American soldiers in Afghanistan because Bush vacationed his way through 9/11 and understaffed the forces in Afghanistan to play around in Iraq.

1. Yep. Tru 'dat. N/T

2. Oh, but, er....CLINTON! It's Clinton's fault!

Clinton left everything in such a mess that W. HAD to get all those people killed.

3. I was just thinking about this today

not to mention the over 100k Iraqis and how much better off we would be finacially without tax cuts and a 300 Billion dollar war. If only Gore had won, but wait he did win. I think the pendulum had to swing far enough to the right so we could get all the scum out of Washington. The tide is turning, and the people are taking their government back!!!!

4. Like all serial killers, he doesn't give a fuck...The power thrills him!

5. Add 3000+ more to that total

I hold him and the republicans responsible for 911 too after seeing the National Geographic special.

8. 3030 listed for 9/11 in the OP. n/t

6. How about the other 10,000 US troops

that have died from injuries sustained on the battlefield?

The troops that are not KIA, dont get included in the total.

12. Yes they do

We've had this argument over and over again.

7. Let's not forget about...

the people who already can't afford to heat their homes - a predicted 58% increase in natural gas & heating oil prices will kill quite a few - especially those already having to choose between food and prescription drugs.

It's not just Bush foreign policy that is killing people. If he is allowed to stay in office, if his Republican congress is allowed to stay in the majority, many more will die because of his domestic "policy" - Feed the Rich.

9. What about the ~25,000 Iraqi civilians who were Shocked and Awed to death?

[Renew Deal]

10. They count too

but they are not ours. If you added the total body count, it would be shocking.

[Roland99]

13. Their deaths are the responsibility of the U.S., though.

[Renew Deal]

16. I understand that.

I am just counting Americans in this.

[Roland99]

18. No prob.

[Imagevision]

14. 25,000 number was raised to 100,000+ by hosiptal s accounting

25,000 perhaps in Fallujah alone!!

[Roland99]

15. Is that the Lancet study? I don't trust that too much

I just go by Iraq Body Count

11. Bush's Body Counts

Yes I agree totally. :kick:

17. What about the Congressfolk who voted to approve the invasion?

Don't they share the blame as well?
