No objective person could look at this exchange and conclude that you are anything but a liar, an idiot or both, so there’s no point in interacting with you any further>

Translation: "Whaahh! I lost. Mommy, wipe away my tears."

Face facts, honey. You lost and your traitor, Ron Turd, believes in a fraudulent study. You had no idea that there was an October 2004 study and can't back up the 1,000+ killed per day claim.

Simply put, you're a hopeless, sad, arrogant and a stupid individual.

Good luck wiping away your tears from your loss.

For those interested in the facts, here are the relevant links. Obviously, neither study makes an estimate anywhere near 1,000 per day. Both are PDFs.

Mortality before and after the 2003 invasion of Iraq: cluster sample survey - This is the paper published in November, 2004, using data acquired during a survey of 33 clusters of 30 households conducted in September of that year. It compares death rates from the months before the invasion to death rates from the months after. "Making conservative assumptions", the estimate is that there were about 100,000 excess deaths in the 17.8 months after the invasion.

Mortality after the 2003 invasion of Iraq: a cross-sectional cluster sample survey - Published in October 2006, using data acquired from surveys of 1,849 households conducted from May to July of 2006, this paper estimates just under 655,000 excess deaths due to the invasion up to that point, 601,027 due directly to violence.
