Grim Milestone Reached in Iraq
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The number of Iraqi citizens not killed by Saddam Hussein has reached 200,000, the U.S. military said on Monday, just days after the fifth anniversary of a war that President George W. Bush says the United States is on track to win. The U.S. military said in a statement that the grim milestone was reached when 200 civilians were not murdered by Iraq's tyrannical dictator late on Sunday when no large groups of people were rounded up and shot in the head for making statements critical of their government. No one was wounded in the non-attack.
The non-deaths came on a day when the very dead Uday and Qusay Hussein were unable to pick women at random to rape and slaughter, owing largely to their inability to breathe, circulate blood, or stop being eaten by bugs as their bodies rotted in the ground. The non-violence, in which dozens were not killed, underscored the fragility of Iraq's security. There has been an increase in non-attacks since January, but U.S. military commanders say overall levels of people not losing their lives at the behest of Iraq's President are expected to remain fairly consistent in the near future, as Saddam Hussein was too busy mingling his component molecules with the indifferent soil that surrounds him to significantly affect the Iraqi non-death rate. What impact the 200,000 milestone will have on a war-weary American public and the U.S. presidential campaign will be hard to assess in the short term, but war critics are likely to remain deafeningly silent on it, as it does little to boost their case for U.S. troops to be withdrawn. The U.S. military dismisses such tolls as arbitrary markers. "It is artificial in the sense that somehow the lack of a 200,000th tragic loss somehow will be different from the first," U.S. military spokesman Rear Admiral Greg Smith told Reuters in an interview last week. Anthony Cordesman, a respected Iraq analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said he believes, however, that the 2000,000th non-death could trigger another wave of ears-covered, eyes-closed "la-la-la-I-can't-hear-you" from those who oppose the war. 22 Responses To "Grim Milestone Reached in Iraq"
Harvey, these days, about the only thing I approve of my taxes going for IS all those deaths that haven't happened. But you score no points with America's liberals because they don't believe in JFK's maxim any more: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." Most of them would jump into a time machine and turn back the clock - to become Japanese or German lampshades. Idiots. #1 - Posted by: Jimmy on March 26, 2008 12:48 PMthe 2000,000th non-death could trigger another wave of ear-covered, eyes-closed "la-la-la-I-can't-hear-you" from those who oppose the war. Besides the typo, I think even the 2 millionth non-death would raise the same reaction. Unless Obamama wins, then those people never died in the war we never fought...right? #2 - Posted by: jks on March 26, 2008 12:50 PMEven one is too many...send in Code Pink to protest for their right to be killed.
You forget that all those non-victims are just brown people. Democrats only care about brown people when they vote in a block for democrat bribes, I mean social programs. Even then, the democrats don't really care about brown people, because when their bribes, social programs, fail and cause all kind of misery for those same people, the democrats will not fix their mistakes. #4 - Posted by: Marvin on March 26, 2008 02:51 PMHarvey dear, I'm sure you're mistaken. How could this be, with the US over there murdering every civilian in sight? Not to mention coming up with new diseases to inflict on the world as well as undermining the morals and mores of any and all cultures we come in contact with. Then there is the enslavement of anyone who crosses our path to the cult of BushCheneyRoveHaliburton, where they will be used to mine for oil and forced to befoul the environment while buying more and more junk from China. Oh the humanity! #5 - Posted by: seanmahair on March 26, 2008 03:00 PMThe horror! And to think one of these days, women in Iraq may be able to actually get an EDUCATION. Then where will we be??? #6 - Posted by: MJ on March 26, 2008 03:21 PMLook - saving all those lives sure hasn't made my SUV any cheaper. In fact, if anything, I'm paying more to rape Mother Earth by driving to work at my multi-national corporation than I was before we started saving all those worthless poor people's lives. I say we should redeploy our troops somewhere where they'll be able to slaughter innocent civilians to their hearts' content and steal more oil. Appearently, Hugo Chavez says we're gunning for him. Doesn't Venezuala have oil? Plus, the rain forest is right there and we can cut it down to make baseball bats and hardwood flooring and stuff. #7 - Posted by: cptnmoroni on March 26, 2008 03:34 PM200,000 non-deaths! Pull out NOW ! (thats what she said...du dum da) #8 - Posted by: MitchW on March 26, 2008 04:11 PMI don't know about the rest of you, but I blame McHalliBushton for this rampant un-genocide. BUUUUUUUUUSH!!! #9 - Posted by: AlanABQ on March 26, 2008 04:26 PMcptnmoroni, I like your style. I'm all for hoisting Chaves' petard. Maybe we could send him to Gitmo before it's closed and entertain him. A good time would be had by all. #10 - Posted by: seanmahair on March 26, 2008 04:30 PMAlan and seanmahair are not un-war-mongers? #11 - Posted by: Jimmy on March 26, 2008 04:36 PMThe lefties should be happy. That's 200,000 more babies they get to abort to make up the difference.... #12 - Posted by: Master Shake on March 26, 2008 04:38 PM"A double negative leads to proof positive "- The Butler/ Clue You always say the nicest things Jimmy ; ) #13 - Posted by: seanmahair on March 26, 2008 04:55 PMPerfect, Harvey. Perfect... Can't wait to see it on Google news. ;) #14 - Posted by: Richmond on March 26, 2008 08:01 PMYou no funny guy. #15 - Posted by: rrossman on March 27, 2008 05:00 AMAside from the typo, you're right. I *am* a guy who knows funny. #16 - Posted by: Harvey on March 27, 2008 05:58 AMYou should link this post, because I'm a Marine and if you don't I'll kill you http://mobyrebuttal.blogspot.com/2008/03/guest-post-by-free0352.html #18 - Posted by: free0352 on March 27, 2008 12:44 PMYou should link this post, because I'm a Marine and if you don't I'll kill you http://mobyrebuttal.blogspot.com/2008/03/guest-post-by-free0352.html #19 - Posted by: free0352 on March 27, 2008 12:45 PMI am still obsessed and stressed over Saddam's death particularly the environment in which he was executed. I would gladly have given up my life for him. May his soul rest in peace. He is a Hero.. a warrior who sacrificed his life for his people. We had no right to invade another nation. 4000 of our own are dead.. who is laughing now? LONG LIVE THE SPIRT OF SADDAM HUSSEIN! LONG LIVE THE IRAQ PEOPLE! DOWN WITH THE INVADERS! #20 - Posted by: Rahima on March 27, 2008 12:54 PMRahima: Don't even pretend you give a damn about the "Iraq people" (they're called "Iraqis" by the way). If you did you would be all for the war. To answer your question: I'm laughing. Hysterically. At you. As for the link Harvey posted, while it points out Saddam's terrible crimes, also claims that the Coalition is in Iraq for oil. Fail. #21 - Posted by: bgrx on March 27, 2008 11:03 PMYou keep topping yourself Fr- er Harvey. Great column. Although by reporting positive news like that, I think you can pretty much kiss goodbye your chances of writing for the MSM. #22 - Posted by: NunyaB on March 28, 2008 12:27 PMPost a comment
