This just in courtesy of Daily Kos: Bush Has Killed More Iraqis Than Saddam
A new study asserts that roughly 600,000 Iraqis have died from violence since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, a figure many times higher than any previous estimate.
“Since March 2003, an additional 2.5 percent of Iraq’s population has died above what would have occurred without conflict,” the report said. The country`s population is roughly 24 million people. That means that Bush is responsible for the death of 600,000 Iraqis, not 30,000 as claimed by Bush. The study was conducted by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health by sending teams of Iraqi doctors across Iraq from May through July.
Human Rights Watch has estimated Saddam Hussein’s regime killed 250,000 to 290,000 people over 20 years.
Wow, Saddam Hussein might be put to death in the next 2 days. That is some heavy stuff!
