3. Freepers can't do math
Edited on Wed Nov-16-05 05:37 PM by ThoughtCriminal
2118 over 22 months comes to an average of 970/year. With 160,000 troops that would be a deat rate of 606 per 100,000, not 60.

And where did they get 80 per 100,000 for DC?

"DC, by comparison, with nearly 600,000 residents, had 262 murders last year"

That's about 43 per 100,000

So Iraq is 14 times more deadly than a city with the HIGHEST murder rate in the country.

No wonder they thought tax cuts wouldn't shoot the budget defecit. They can't handle decimal places.
