Do you know how they calculate that figure? Well, using the word calculate is a bit much. The method used seems to have quite a large margin of error. I read about it in Time magazine a while ago. I'll have to have a look around and see if i can find the article.

because al jazeera is the bastion of truth when it comes to counting dead people

HammerTime33 · 12-06-2004, 09:08 PM

100,000 to 853 ?

I believe jazeera less than I believe bush, we still can do better. GOOD JOB by the TROOPS though.!

I heard that they take the total number of testicals found on the battlefield and divide by 2.......

All kidding aside, kind of sad

I don't think you can say al jazeera is that biased when you compare it to some US stations like Fox.

If you check a story at a few different sites you get a better picture I think

"Violent deaths were mainly attributed to coalition forces - and most individuals reportedly killed were women and children."

US soldiers rock

Boy, sounds like some screwed up math to me.

Well, Iraq is about the size of California. (I'm way too fucking tired to do searches on the population of Iraq and California tonight.) LET'S JUST SAY that Iraq had 100k deaths in the past year. Compare that to 233k deaths in California (which is not in war zone and some pretty high fucking tech hospitals).

Factor in the fact that you have Iraqis kiling Iraqis with car bombs and shit, and wel, I figure we are ahead of the game.

The second link to the death stats in Iraq has some PRETTY WIDE DIFFERENCES HERE PEOPLE.....

Iraq Body Count: 14-16,000
Brookings Inst: 10-27,000
UK foreign secretary: >10,000
People's Kifah >37,000
Lancet: >100,000

There's only a difference of what - 80,000 deaths?

pornguy · 12-06-2004, 09:19 PM

Yeah that can happen especially when their own soldiers use them as shields.

Spunky · 12-06-2004, 09:21 PM

Still a sad situation...so many wasted lives and for what?

jukeboxfrank · 12-06-2004, 10:56 PM

It is very sad all the way around. Too bad people just cant get along......

cashman · 12-06-2004, 10:58 PM

TheMob · 12-06-2004, 10:59 PM
