"That's because under Saddam, people wouldn't be taken to the morgue - they'd just go straight to a mass burial pit. One way to gauge Saddam's rule, is that for every month he was in power roughly 10,000 people died. Saddam was an Arab Pol Pot." 28 years x 12 months x 10,000 = 3,360,000 bodies! Have we REALLY found that many Dave? I think we're claiming 300,000 over 28 years, which would add up to about 893 a month. So, the 1498 for this month would seem to be pretty horrific, even by the very low bar set by Saddam. It's time to leave when you're trying to make the case that not as many people are dying under OUR occupation as died under Saddam, and failing.
