Somewhere along the line their methodology is flawed, because the recorded incidents don't always match with what really happened.<BR/><BR/>For example, I have point to incidents in locations during certain time periods in which there where no civilian deaths attributable to war, whether from coalition forces or insurgent operations. Long story short: I know beyond a doubt that some of the deaths in the database are fabrications, hence the credibility of the entire database is suspect.Jared McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627274778645651096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-20265021356721940502008-03-18T14:03:00.000-04:002008-03-18T14:03:00.000-04:00You know you love me Shitrock LOL LOL LOLIndeed I ...<I>You know you love me Shitrock LOL LOL LOL</I><BR/><BR/>Indeed I do love ya, John -- and not just because of my love of congenital idiots.

How often do the battle-scarred streets of Mogadishu ever get mentioned in Congress? Not to mention, they are struggling to make the same thing happen in Iraq, all so they can get a dem into the White House. It sounds disgusting, but its true. Why else would they focus on every bad thing that happens over there? Have you ever read to "latest updates on world's top stories" on CNN? It's like a mouthpiece for AQI to tout their accomplishments. Its pathetic.<BR/><BR/>I am worried that these next few years might become the "what can we do for ourselves" era if someone like Barack Obama wins the election. By that, I worry that people will only want to focus on what's happening in this country. <BR/><BR/>For five years, the media, the so-called "antiwar" movement, and the left have been looking for the bad things in Iraq, and unfortunately, when you do that, its all you'll ever find. Instead of tracking every terror attack inside Iraq's borders for the last five years, reporters should have been reporting from Irbil in Iraq's North, or from the perspective of coaltion soldiers providing humanitarian aid to Iraqis neglected under saddam Hussein.<BR/><BR/>But no, all we hear about is the bad news...and only when it can help defend an ideology. If the "antiwar" movement was really appalled by violence, they should be all over the humanitarian disaster that is happening in Eastern Congo and rippling across Central Africa, where over five million people have died as genocidal militias, warlords, and government forces battle for control of the mineral-rich region.<BR/><BR/>Today, we have a chance to bring peace to Iraq, a chance for progress, and a chance for a better tomorrow. The question is, do you people want it?C.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02870558780736700523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-38035987900266568782008-03-18T13:31:00.000-04:002008-03-18T13:31:00.000-04:00John K. says: MY DINKY!

They are just angry that a Republican is running it and that we are winning. After all, the last time a Democrat ran a war, Somalia, we lost. And Kosovo is still undecided. The left still feels intense guilt for pulling out of Somalia. Too bad for them.

A year ago you were echoing Rosie O'Donut when she said there were 100,000 dead Iraqis. Yep, we are winning. Which makes the left even more eager to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I thought for sure shitrock said "see you in Novemeber" and that he was done with this blog till then. I am certain he posted that. And yet here he is posting away.
