From article: dear reader, unless you've gone on record in favor of abandoning the residents of the cities listed above to their own devices at the times they were (or are) extremely dangerous places to be, it would seem that you have no basis for contending that we should do that to the people of Iraq.

Bada Bing!

[Two Kids' Dad]

Maybe we should "redeploy" the residents of those cities, huh?

[pissant]

I'm sure Baghdad is safer than some parts of Chicago I've been in.

[pissant]

Houston got a redeployment from New Orleans. They didn't like it.

Perhaps our elected officials should spend a little more time, effort, and money (ours) concentrating on domestic issues like crime than on foreign welfare and entanglements?

[pissant]

I like foreign entanglements that kill our enemies. that is one of the constitutional duties of the federal government. But yes, mayors, city councils, etc should get busy too.

[mylife]

And try to remember that the MSM doesnt delineate between accidental or intentional deaths in Iraq.

If you crashed your hummvee or were rolled over by one of out own tanks you get added to the list.

[pissant]

1/3 of the military deaths are accidents/friendly fire, if I'm not mistaken.

[Plains Drifter]

Iraq would probably have a higher death rate than our American cities if Iraq enjoyed the amount of diversity that we enjoy here in America. Look at the cities on the list.

[pissant]

LOL. If a city has "diversity" in its mission statement or charter, high crime is sure to be present.

[WhiteGuy]

I like foreign entanglements that kill our enemies.


yeah, enemies........................


something to consider, just who are the real enemies of the American people?

[mylife]

Ive been in stateside war games with these soldiers (no live ammo) about 5 die per exercise from accidents

Theres a lot of heavy machinery running about in the dead of night with lights out.

[pissant]

Jihadis and leftists about covers the gammut.

[mylife]

Another stat Id be interested in is how many soldiers we lose stateside while on leave from the war zone. car/motorcycle accidents

[dfwgator]

If only they had "Martin Luther King Boulevard" and "Malcolm X Avenue" in Iraq, our troops job would be much easier.

[kalee]

ping

[pissant]

Yep. It's a real shame too.

interesting theory.................

it is doubtful that most of the criminals who could be considered "enemies" of Americans have any political ageenda at all.......................

jihadists are simply pawns and most violent criminals are sociopaths..............

[JerseyHighlander]

Some of the must openly idiotic twisting of statistics we've yet seen in this war.
