The war is won!

Made-up statistics I presume?

Nah. I know the government likes to quote Iraq Bodycount, but I was highly amused to watch Newsnight one night to watch one politician after another acknowledge that the study issued in the Lancet was likely to be the most accurate portrayal of the number of deaths - 655,000 - caused by our presence.

Then they carried on quoting the more politically convenient figures, but politicians, eh? Bunch of lying cunts

 

[Scouse]

Actually, what's yours? The Lancet's figures are quite controversial.

Ah, just caught sight of this (back from the Docs). The lancets figures are only "controversial" because they're inconvenient (as alluded to above, and as can be seen in the linked story)...

Everyone knows Wikipedia is full of shit, uh Tom?

Spoiler

What everyone should know is that it is foolish to quote Wikipedia. Rather, its sources should be quoted.

This is a gaming forum, not a thesis.

Hawks obfuscating casualty figures set my teeth on edge, is all.

Did you know only sixty American civilians died in the 2nd world war?
thta's people not actively involved at all, but I guess merchant seamen would argue that one.

That seems a bit unlikely. I think you might be thinking of civilians killed on American soil (Pearl Harbor).
