MEDUSALA lies again and misquotes, here are other quotes from the same article WITHOUT the medusala out of context quotes starting with the FIRST paragraph:
About 100,000 Iraqi civilians - half of them women and children - have died in Iraq since the invasion, mostly as a result of airstrikes by coalition forces, according to the first reliable study of the death toll from Iraqi and US public health experts
The research was led by Les Roberts of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore
"US General Tommy Franks is widely quoted as saying 'we don't do body counts'," they write, but occupying armies have responsibilities under the Geneva convention."This survey shows that with modest funds, four weeks and seven Iraqi team members willing to risk their lives, a useful measure of civilan deaths could be obtained."
The other increase was in violent death, which was reported in 15 of the 33 clusters studied and which was mostly attributed to airstrikes.

LONDON - Nearly 100,000 more Iraqis have died during the American-led occupation than would have been expected otherwise, a study posted on The Lancet medical journal's website Thursday estimates
mmm haliburton isn't an oil company?

in fact the so called 4 'contractors' executed by iraqi freedom fighters were in fact ex SF merceneries death squad including i think 3 ex seals and 1 ex ranger employed by haliburton to do dirty work, there was no food convoy, there was no supply convey, they were heavily armed in an unmarked vehicle in territory without official knowledge, locals claim they were a death squad of the illegal occupying force.
so even when you lie, you lie so badly medusala
You clearly are deluded as I have shown time and time again
1) The Halliburton stealing oil myth:
From your own links.
"Halliburton and KBR will offer a range of services including subsurface oilfield services, development planning, engineering, construction, production and maintenance support to Oil Search's"
"One is Halliburton, the Houston-based
energy services and construction giant whose former CEO, ******** Cheney, is now vice president of the United States."
They are independent contractors to the industry. They dont undertake their own refining, production, exploration etc. I happen to know a bit about the industry. They are NOT an oil company in the sense that BP, Exxon, Royal Dutch/Shell, Saudi Aramco etc are.
2) Iraq body count
Your own link states the following:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/iraq/casualties.html
IraqiNon-combat military deaths include
accidents, friendly fire incidents,
suicides and incidents unrelated to fighting
Iraqi deaths: 14,880 to 17,076
During "major combat" (prior to May 1, 2003)
Military Deaths: 4,895 to 6,370
17k civilians and 6k soldiers seems a fair way off your 100k civilians and 150k soldiers doesnt it!!!!!!
again, your own quote:
LONDON - Nearly 100,000 more Iraqis have died during the American-led occupation than would have been expected otherwise, a study posted on The Lancet medical journal's website Thursday estimates
a)you ascribe all these deaths to the coalition forces when clearly they are not responsible for the many deaths of civilians caused by Iraqis themselves.
b) of these Iraqis, how many were actually combatants???
You are way off the mark. You are making up numbers as you go along. It was either you or the other DD that claimed the US had killed 500k people in Afghanistan and Iraq without a shred of evidence, even from the excruciatingly dubious sources you usually refer to.
You are a proven liar and exaggerator. Once again your propaganda is exposed as a complete load of crap.
And finally just read once again the first paragraph you quoted.
About 100,000 Iraqi civilians - half of them women and children - have died in Iraq since the invasion, mostly as a result of airstrikes by coalition forces, according to the first reliable study of the death toll from Iraqi and US public health experts
The research was led by Les Roberts of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore
"US General Tommy Franks is widely quoted as saying 'we don't do body counts'," they write, but occupying armies have responsibilities under the Geneva convention."This survey shows that with modest funds, four weeks and seven Iraqi team members willing to risk their lives, a useful measure of civilan deaths could be obtained."
The other increase was in violent death, which was reported in 15 of the 33 clusters studied and which was mostly attributed to airstrikes.
So death by air strike is different to violent death caused by airstrike is it?? This where you learned to double count??
Funny how Stalins 30m is of no great note but 100k alleged deaths at the hands of the US gets you frothing at the mouth.
