She's comparing apples and oranges. It's deaths in the military under Clinton but only deaths in Iraq under Bush. I've told her that several times but I now understand that she's too genuinely uneducated to comprehend the concept of comparing similar items instead of dissimilar ones. The purpose of the two data point chart (about as high as rightwingers can count apparently) is to mislead. It's supposed to present Iraq as a non-issue as the American Public becomes disgusted by the body count in this corporate war. It doesn't take into account the 27% or so decline in the number of the uniformed military or those not serving in Iraq. It also doesn't take into account the gun-toting contractors. It also doesn't take into account Iraqi police and security forces -- even those fighting on 'our' side. It's a graph meant to LIE which is all rightwingers have left in their arsenal. This is a war based on a pack of lies, conducted by lies and, now, rationalized by lies. Listening to the likes of her is like listening to used car salesmen determined to sell you a car that's been sitting under water for a week. No matter how they paint it up, it's still rotten underneath.
