adding about 50-80 thousand "alleged insurgents."

How can he sleep at night? Bush must be on drugs to live with himself.

2. I remember an estimate of 100,000 Iraqi dead from over a year ago

I don't know why, but Johns Hopkins comes to mind.

5. good memory...

The Lancet published research by scientists from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in the US city of Baltimore.

They gathered data on births and deaths since January 2002 from 33 clusters of 30 households each across Iraq.

They found the relative risk, the risk of deaths from any cause, was two-and-a-half times higher for Iraqi civilians after the 2003 invasion than in the preceding 15 months.

3. If *bush* says 30,000...

...you know damn well there isn't even a semirespectable source anywhere with a lower estimate, or he would've used it.

Anyone know what his (ahem) source is?

4. According to Dubya's fundamentalist theology

they're mostly all heathens who deserved to go to hell anyway because they didn't believe in Jesus as their personal savior, so why loose any sleep over it. It's not like it was 30,000 Christian white folks he had wasted.
