Subject: Washington D.C. & Iraq

According to icasualties.org , there have been 88 hostile fire deaths
caused by firearms since the beginning of hostilities in Iraq. The
remainder of coalition deaths have been due to explosives or accidents.

What does this mean? If you consider that there have been an average
of 160,000 troops in theater during the last 22 months, that gives a
firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in DC is 80.6 per
100,000. That means that you are more likely to be shot and killed in
our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws
in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

The Conclusion? Under the tactics of the left, we should immediately
pull out of WASHINGTON, DC
