Reply #12: I agree and it's very upsetting

30,000 is a horrible # if it were true and he so casually tossed it off as nothing in the speech too. He's a sociopath so that's part of not caring about it but it is also because he knew, he must know, that it is so low in comparison with the actual # that it seemed like not a lot.

We knew about the Lancet report a year ago saying 100,000. I imagine enough media know about this too and their apparent ignorance is a pretense. 100,000 was a year ago without Fallujah weighed in. The violence has only escalated especially with the Shiites killing the Sunnis as roving death squads as being reported. The fact that this isn't being challenged everywhere at all times shows how complicit the MSM is and that there is so much blood on all of their hands.

Same with the manipulation of the Katrina figures. At the time of the hurricane it seemed like it would be 10,000 dead now it's officially 1000+ with some unmentioned "missing" people. This angers me further because it is such an attempt to manipulate reality for the purpose of protecting this administration. Not only are they culpable for these deaths of our own citizens because of their careless incompetence, but politically, PR-wise, they can't ever have anything be officially worse than 9/11. If Katrina had 3 times the loss of life than wouldn't 9/11 pale in comparison? If 9/11 gets dwarfed then they have absolutely nothing. If Katrina had officially done more harm to the country than 9/11 and the * administration was responsible than they would be, logically, worse of a threat to the country than Al Queda. We should be fighting a War on Environmental threats instead then right? Like that would be their platform? There's no money in that.
