Danish PM Admits Faults In Iraq Strategies Comments Comment

October 25th, 2006 , ,

Sitting here with the morning coffee, waiting for the rhythm of the day to settle in, I’m reading in the newspaper. It says that Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the danish Prime Minister who unilaterally chose for Denmark to participate in the Iraq war, admits the invasion strategy had it’s faults and shortcomings.

It’s roughly 3? years since the war started, March 18th 2003. Like many others, I thought it would be a bad idea. Turns out we were right and the people we elected weren’t. How is it this happens more and more often? To date, the war has cost the lives of 5 Danes, 2804 Americans, $336,999,380,179 and maybe as much as 600.000 Iraqis. I’d say that’s bad planning.

600.000 Iraqis Dead Due To Invasion Comments 3 Comments

October 12th, 2006 , ,

According to a recent study, more than 600,000 people in Iraq have been killed since the U.S. invaded in 2003 to lead Iraqis to peace and democracy.

That’s 20 times higher than the figure the White House has bandied about.

Many of the dead, say the team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists who conducted the study, would likely be alive today if the invasion had not occurred.

The researchers point the finger at post-Saddam violence as the cause of the deaths, according to news accounts.

Such a toll strikes home because the stunning number rivals Seattle’s population, 570,000.

But hey, oil prices just dropped, what, 30%?

Bush want’s schoolbooks to teach alternative to evolution
The alternative being “intelligent design”, the idea that an “unseen force” created mankind. This is stupidity on a previously unseen level. Frankly, I’m astonished. Barry Lynn said it best: [student's hearing two viewpoints] “doesn’t understand that one is a religious viewpoint and one is a scientific viewpoint.”
