RE: The Johns Hopkins study that purporting to show 655,000 war dead as a result of the Iraq war.

Think about this for a minute.

Now that's just folks allegedly killed from the war - no other deaths were included.

That's roughly 3% of the entire population of Iraq as war casualties.

That's roughly 16,000 war deaths every single month since the war began.

That's more than 533 every day - 24/7 for 3 1/2 years.

So where are the heartbreaking photos of this massive, wanton slaughter? There must be countless instances where many hundreds were slaughtered in a single incident & others with thousands dead in one tragic incident.

You know the MSM would never pass up this type of tragic calamity that was happening over & over & over with no end in sight.

So where are these photos? Uh huh. I thought so.

So why have the hyper-exaggerated monthly death counts (which included deaths from all causes, with frequent double & triple counting) we heard about almost always been substantially below that number (as in a small fraction of that 16,000)?

Where are the massive new cemeteries? There has to be roughly 1,200+ acres of new cemetery space just for the war dead. You'd think that we'd have already seen numerous photos splashed across the front pages of the "newz" of this tragic calamity.

So where are they? Uh huh. I thought so.

That would be like saying that we had 9,000,000,000 die here in the USA. That would be like losing every man woman & child in New York City, Boston & Pittsburgh.

We're talking incomprehensible losses no matter how you slice it.

So tell me. Why have so many leftists bought into these painfully obvious bullshit numbers as if they were rock solid fact?
