Are you playing fast and loose with facts or do you have a link showing these assertions?
No, I never do.

"Along with other human rights organizations, The Documental Centre for Human Rights in Iraq has compiled documentation on over 600,000 civilian executions in Iraq. Human Rights Watch reports that in one operation alone, the Anfal, Saddam killed 100,000 Kurdish Iraqis. Another 500,000 are estimated to have died in Saddam's needless war with Iran. Coldly taken as a daily average for the 24 years of Saddam's reign, these numbers give us a horrifying picture of between 70 and 125 civilian deaths per day for every one of Saddam's 8,000-odd days in power"

LOL.

First of all, those numbers are gross exaggerations. The article is dated April, 2003 well before we could confirm some of the estimates.

The Kurd deaths were less than 50k, the dead from the Iranian war.....less than 500k, and there is no way that Saddam was killing 50 Iraqis per day [400,000 Iraqis divided by 8000 days].

Why am I not surprised that you play loose and fast with the facts.......much like your president.
