Just how many people died during *'s watch?

[caledesi]

WTC - 3000
Iraq - almost 2000
NOLA - 10,000 or more

The governor of LA wrote * before the storm saying that they needed 5 million for evacuation (buses, etc).

What did he get? Nada, nil, zilch...

He's got to go!

1. Don't forget the tens of thousands of Iraqis and Afghanis

[Ioo]

2. I say half a million

at least

3. Don't stop counting just yet...

the Apocalypse is young.

4. At least 3000 on 9/11

Nearly 2000 American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention uncounted Iraqi and Afghani civilians, as well as all those lost in NOLA and the Gulf Coast.

A million isn't an impossible number.

5. I should have said Americans....well aware of all the innocent Iraqis

and Afghanis.

6. + 7 Astronauts

[Cocoa]

7. his environmental record will cause many more

[gmoney]

8. How many health-care-related deaths? Injured soldiers?

People who (thanks to the Bush wreconomy) have lost coverage, been unable to afford treatment, babies denied prenatal care, seniors who couldn't afford meds... I'd say 5000 would not be an unrealistic number.

And don't the Iraq military casualty figures ONLY include those who have died on the battlefield, and not those who died later of battlefield injuries? Add a few thousand there...
