Hitler Meant Well... Power Line ...as opposed to President Bush, the first political leader in world history who intended to do evil. That's what they're saying at the Huffington Post, one of the biggest media jokes of all time, and it's fair to say that Huffpo reflects the views of a great many liberals. You can read all about it at the link below, at the Power Line Forum, in a thread titled; << "Bush Worse Than Hitler Because At Least Hitler Meant Well." >> Do you think that one of these days the liberals might go too far?

Fun with numbers, part 2 Power Line John Wixted writes in response to Paul's "Fun with numbers" regarding this Washington Post story by Joshua Partlow: <<< The folks at Iraq Coalition Casualty Count track the number of dead bodies found on the streets of Baghdad every single day (as reported by the media). I tabulate their numbers, and I reported them most recently here (link below) (look at my third graph). The number of dead bodies found on the streets of Baghdad was 735 in January and 540 in June (a 27 percent drop). If you want to check for yourself, go to the link below to look at the daily casualty reports for January (by selecting January 07 from the drop down list at the top left of the screen) and then do the same for the daily casualty reports for June 07. Glance through the reports for stories like this from 1/27/07: BAGHDAD - Police found 40 bodies, most tortured and shot dead, in various parts of Baghdad, a police source said. Two of the victims were women. In January, there were seven days in which more than 40 bodies were found, and there was one day in which 60 were found (1/10/07). By contrast, in June, there was not a single day in which more than 40 bodies were found. This is not debatable. That story says: During the month of June, 453 unidentified corpses, some bound, blindfolded, and bearing signs of torture, were found in Baghdad, according to morgue data provided by a Health Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information. The number of unidentified bodies found in Baghdad was significantly higher in June than in January, the month before the deployment of additional U.S. and Iraqi forces began in the capital. However, the overall number of civilians who died in violence in most Iraqi provinces has generally declined since January. In January, 321 corpses were discovered in the capital, a total that fell steadily until April but then rose sharply over the last two months, the statistics show. The June number is reasonably close to the figure you get from Iraq Coalition Casualty Count, but the January figure is way off. The numbers reported in the media (tracked by Iraq Coalition Casualty Count) are reliable. The Washington Post has this wrong. >>> Wixted addresses the Washington Post story at greater length here. engram-backtalk.blogspot.com powerlineblog.com powerlineblog.com washingtonpost.com engram-backtalk.blogspot.com icasualties.org

here's some more numbers, increasing gop cut and run treasonous traitors "Two more Republican senators have gone public with their dissatisfaction with President Bush's Iraq war strategy. On Friday, Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee told the paper, "It should be clear to the president that there needs to be a new strategy. Our policy in Iraq is drifting;" and "Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, who helped lead the charge earlier this year against Democratic efforts to oppose Bush's troop buildup, said: 'We don't seem to be making a lot of progress.'"
