Collateral Damage Offsets In Iraq: Infant Moratlity Drops By 5,000 Per Year
— Ace

Rob Port isn't a public health statistician, but he can do simple math the same as anyone.

Crunching the numbers, 15,000 fewer babies have died in Iraq since the invasion.

He notes that's a "conservative estimate," which once again means it's neocon propaganda.

Ace, you don't understand.

To the Left, dying from piss-poor living conditions or an anti-American dictator murdering your family is NOBLE AND PURE.

Even one Iraqi dying from collateral damage by American forces is EVIL AND A WAR CRIME. So it doesn't matter how the exact numbers go.

3 Hmmm, how many look like little Marines?

That means 15,000 more mouths to feed, planet killer...

I hope you have enough manboob teets for everyone, Ace.

5 No one on the left will care, Ace. The people of Iraq, like the people of Israel, South Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, Cambodia, Nicaragua, El Salvador, etc, etc, are ALWAYS expendible as long as it helps the left feel good about themselves. Ask any anti-war protestor.

Note that the Left hated the sanctions on Iraq, blaming them for deaths (instead of Saddam).

There's just no pleasing some people.

I question the timing.

Just sayin'.

9 There's the weird thing, though...

If infant mortality dropped, then how in the hell could there be such a massive increase in everyone else's mortality (cue the Lancet study)?

10 Saved them? They are all just going to die with the rest of us when global warming causes sea levels to rise 3,495 feet* in the next decade** or so***.

Nice try America but you just fucked it up again.

*give or take 3,490 feet
**give or take a few hundred thousand years
***the science is settled so just shut up

That Rev. Wright piece is really, really anti-Israel.

12 15,000 flipper babies caused by depleted uranium poisoning. That's what I expect the moonbats would say.

100,000 minus 1,500 equals 98,500. You know judging by these numbers you would have to say that this is a wash.

retards.

14 equals 85,000. Much, much better.

Posted by: frank at April 30, 2007 11:09 AM (FZ/Wf)

15 irony, thy name is frank.

I'm sorry, did I say "irony?" I meant "idiocy." Sorry about the confusion.

16 Nice.

Guys, listen up. Frank has determined a way to remove a dictator of a forign country without any civilian casualties at all; and he's willing to share that information with us "retards".

Go ahead Frank. Since you've got a better solution; wow us.

17 Frank did not just quote the highly discredited '100,000' number, did he? I know he di'int.

18 You are quite right, Random Black Woman. It's at least five times as many.
