I heard this morning an estimate of the potential loss of life that will come from this war. It ranged from 240K to > than a million people, depending on the scenario. Mostly Iraqi civilians whose infrastructure will no longer be able to provide their already sanction ravaged basic services. Which innocent lives were you meaning to save?

This is UTTER NONSENSE. Ridiculous. Not only is it ridiculous for someone to have said it, but it is absurd that you would actually suggest it might be true.

Do you EVER question any of the garbages spewed forth by the liberal media? This sounds like your primary source of information is Phil Donahue or something.

Al, <I heard this morning an estimate of the potential loss of life that will come from this war.>

Just like the estimates given for Desert Storm?

Heck, just like the estimates given for the hurricane that passed through New Orleans last month?

The press is notorious for hype and exaggeration. It's just like pro wrestling. At least Vince McMahon doesn't try and disguise his campiness with excuses.
