Yup, the Gulf War saved roughly 5k lives in NYC, another few hundred in DC, and roughly 150 lives outside of Pittsburgh. We'll never know whether some of these lives might have been saved had we had conservative leadership during the intervening years. But it does indeed take convoluted reasoning to find some connection given the information available today.

Ted, <Yup, the Gulf War saved roughly 5k lives in NYC, another few hundred in DC, and roughly 150 lives outside of Pittsburgh.> It also completely eliminated Kuwait from the map, caused the fall of Saudi Arabia and its smaller neighbors, and gave a madman control over a huge slice of the Middle East. Just like WW2 allowed a certain genocidal megalomaniac to control most of Europe and an imperialist Emperor to control most of Asia. Tenchusatsu P.S. - Don't take my comments too seriously. I got your point; hopefully you'll get mine. ;-)
