If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 firearm deaths per 100,000. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our nation's capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq. Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C.

Of course, it could be said that we need to immediately double the troops in DC.
If you love America, you'll hate Israel.
An alternative conclusion: We should immediately eliminate the District of Criminals, and gun control licensing, registration, permits, etc.
I like your conclusion better.
Finally, Dick Cheney and Bush in a war zone.
I love stats like this. It makes foreign policy look so stupid.
LOL!!

Or call in an airstrike...
And I'm optimistic. See, I think you can be realistic and optimistic at the same time. I'm optimistic we'll achieve -- I know we won't achieve if we send mixed signals. I know we're not going to achieve our objective if we send mixed signals - gwbush
Must be that lack of diversity.

Bad data. More like over 10K deaths.
