"The Iraqi People"
Bush lately has taken to prattling on about "the Iraqi people," as if he knew anything about the Iraqi people, and cared anything for any "Iraqi people" other than for the fellow-traveler thugs he's set up there, like Alawi.0 comments
Well, George, here's your "Iraqi people":
NYTimes: Body Count: Killings Surge in Iraq, and Doctors See a Procession of Misery
Before the war, the institute [for autopsies] received 200 to 250 bodies a month, with fewer than 20 gunshot deaths, said Abbas Mustafa, who keeps records at the morgue. In January 2003, the morgue received 246 bodies, including those of 17 gunshot victims.
The deaths began to soar in April 2003, when looting racked Baghdad, and have remained high ever since. Including killings and accidental deaths, the morgue has performed 5,239 autopsies so far in 2004, an average of about 650 a month, with more than half of them gunshot victims.
The highest monthly total ever came in August 2003, when the morgue took in 875 bodies, including 522 gunshot deaths, Mr. Mustafa said. Last month, 696 corpses arrived for autopsy, including 386 gunshot victims. Men make up about 90 percent of the shooting victims, he said.
I'm waiting for one of your hologram rallies to ask you about your "Iraqi people," George.
