President Bush says there is still more to accomplish in Iraq so he has vetoed Congress.

Let's review what we have accomplished so far:

Possibly as many as 1 million Iraqi dead, 4 million fled or internally displaced.

Over 2,000 physicians killed, 250 kidnapped and 18,000 fled.

Over 300 academics assassinated and thousands fled.

One hundred journalists and 37 support workers killed; a number higher than any other war on Earth.

The destruction of monuments and archeological sites of the cradle of civilization and of history, in general.

Sectarian strife, militias, introduced with the invasion, between peoples who had lived together for 1,000 years.

Ongoing suicide bombings in a country where they were unheard of.

Rigged elections, the results achieved by threats, bribery, threat of ration card confiscation.

Abu Ghraib's torture, forever the U.S. Army's image in the Middle East.

The disappeared in the thousands.

Destruction of an entire civil society with damage to every institution, costing hundreds of billions of dollars to fix.

Missing Iraqi aid in billions of dollars.

The illegal rewriting of constitutions, both Iraqi and American.

The installation of a quisling government with loyalties largely, to anywhere but Iraq, and an American government with loyalties largely to big business.

Committing Nuremberg's ``supreme crime,'' a war of aggression, based on a pack of lies.

Demands for impeachment increasing by the day.

Destruction of America's and Britain's image for generations to come and the inability of their citizens to feel safe anywhere.

A death toll heading toward 4,000 dead U.S troops - admitted to - and thousands horrifically injured.

A trillion dollar debt.

Near universal loathing of America.

And President Bush wants to continue this war and occupation indefinitely.

Let's just test the very first claim:

Possibly as many as 1 million Iraqi dead

NONSENSE.

NONSENSE.

Are you saying the claim is nonsense, or is that just a reader's digest of what you normally post here: nonsense?

Are you saying the claim is nonsense,

I'm saying that there is no physical evidence, whatsoever, to support the claim that a million Iraqis, or anything close to that number, have died since we invaded. It's sheer nonsense derived from highly flawed studies by researchers who were biased against the war to begin with and who revel in that bias. Researchers who employed people to do the leg work in Iraq who they admit HATED Americans and who published their study in a journal whose editors were equally biased (and therefore failed to adequately perform their peer-review responsibilities). It's a claim with no more substance than the claim that bombs brought down the WTC towers and Flight 77 didn't hit the Pentagon. Is that clear enough to understand, Critter? Or are we talking about yet another eyesight problem?

Uh, why don't YOU go over there and find out for sure and come back and tell us. Johnny Mac says you won't even need a rifle or flack vest, so it should be a good trip for you. Keep in touch, write often, we'll be waiting to hear from you cupcake.
