Here's my reason for asking:

To: IOWAfan
right now I'm sad to say they're smarter than we are.

How so? In four years will killed over 70,000 terrorists in Iraq and we only lost 3,000 brave heroes.

PS: The terrorists send you a thank you note for saying that "they are smarter than we are". They felt aided and comforted by your defeatist talk.

:wtf: Do they consider all dead Iraqis as terrorists...or just the males? Anyone else see an estimate that is reliable?

***Edited for grammar. Doh!

1. Well, the "#3 mastermind" was killed about 70,000 times, or so it seems. nt

2. It seems the 70,000 figure has been thrown around for at least a year now
Funny how it hasn't seem to have gone up in that time. It's really hard to say because the Pentagon won't release any figures and many of the American casualties come from IED's where there is no firefight and no enemy dead.

Even if there were 15 insurgents killed for every U.S. soldier, that would put their dead at 45,000. In a nation of 25 million, there's still plenty of fresh meat for the grinder, enough to last them many more years of fighting.

4. Define terrorist.
Yes of course the freepoids push the bullshit that any dead Iraqi is by definition a terrorist because that is why we killed him. Our smart bombs and magic bullets only kill bad guys.

By the way, your friend ought to be positively orgasmic over the actual numbers. The best estimate of Iraqi deaths since our illegal invasion and criminal occupation was 650,000 total last summer. That is way 'better' than a mere 70,000.
