Doesn't that make you proud of Amerika Inc's power and arrogance?
Yessirree sir, we're the greatest country that ever came down the Pike.
Talk about being civilized!

WOW! You are really cranky tonight aren't you?
After all, that ludicrous figure was found bogus YEARS ago.
I presume then that you are also fully aware that over a similar time frame, Saddam Hussein killed more of his own innocent people than were killed in the UN invasion of
Iran Iraq.
Why make up so many lies? Does it make you feel good? I mean this one was debunked years ago when it was found that George Soros had financed the "poll". It was tossed when the methodology came to light.
Your utter desperation tonight is getting quite boring.
Look, just because you don't like Mr. Soros and he funded the poll, doesn't in the least discredit the results. As far as most of us are concerned the figures are correct. Doesn't it make you proud that we Americans can murder so many brown people? And here's another source: A study, published in prestigious medical journal The Lancet, estimated that over 600,000 Iraqis had been killed as a result of the invasion as of July 2006. Iraqis have continued to be killed since then. The death counter provides a rough daily update of this number based on a rate of increase derived from the Iraq Body Count. (See the complete explanation.)
I would have thought that someone as informed as you, would know that article was debunked within days of publication. It also stated the methodology used and WHY it is so inaccurate and was debunked.
I guess those blinders come in handy don't they?
Here's another estimate of Iraqis who have died since we illegally invaded Itaq:
Opinion Research Business (ORB) poll
Opinion Research Business (ORB) poll conducted August 12–19, 2007, estimated 1,033,000 violent deaths due to the Iraq War. The range given was 946,000 to 1,120,000 deaths. A nationally representative sample of approximately 2,000 Iraqi adults answered whether any members of their household (living under their roof) were killed due to the Iraq War. 22% of the respondents had lost one or more household members. ORB reported that "48% died from a gunshot wound, 20% from the impact of a car bomb, 9% from aerial bombardment, 6% as a result of an accident and 6% from another blast/ordnance."[27][28][29][30][31]
No matter how you look at it, invading Iraq was the most costly and disastrous foreign policy decision of this century. Every victim of the Iraq war was a fellow human being -- with a mother, father, brothers, sisters, wives and or children.
Markle thinks it was a great idea!
