Oooooh.......a conspiracy!
Nice of Dubya to leave it for Barack to take the credit tho'.
I'm glad governments work on gathering and collating real-life intelligence and don't just act on wild conjectures they find on the internet (except for WMD of course).
Im giving you reports not conjectures no less credible than some whitehouse moron reading from a script.
The intelligence cant even get a simple account of an operation correct or agree on what went down ?. You any idea how many people were killed on the basis of the WMD farce ?
Your glad are you ? This what the last US and Allied governments conjecture has lead to.
There have been several attempts by the media, coalition governments and others to estimate the Iraqi casualties. The table below summarizes some of these estimates.
Source Iraqi casualties
March 2003 to ... Iraq Family Health Survey 151,000 violent deaths.
June 2006 Lancet survey 601,027 violent deaths out of
654,965 excess deaths.
