The fact that some people you don't like approved of the research after the fact is not an indictment of its methods or conclusions.

To the contrary, not a single other research study found a number even close to the Lancet Study. The only reason it was reported was that the claims were so outlandish that it was embraced by Galloway and Clark.

It wasn't morgue reporting, and the research didn't look only at deaths that occurred during that 3 month period.

Strawman, heal thyself. You cited three months of that study. Again, I reiterate that such a study could not have sampling points. That would be a survey, something very different.

That's a number you came up based on your dishonest claim that the 2006 study only went through November, 2004.

Congrats. You admit to two release dates of the same report. I suppose that is progress. I never said it, but that's what the statistics would have to meet or is simple arithmetic beyond the capacity of your three combined brain cells.

And I repeat for the 6th time, do you and Ron Turd believe there were 1,000+ violent deaths in Iraq per day?

And I suppose you know of other peer-reviewed research that used the same methods, yet came to vastly different conclusions?

Total nonsense. The research was reported because its methods were extremely strong - strong enough to pass peer review and be published in The Lancet - one of the world's most prestigious academic journals.

Holy crap! You obviously don't know even the most basic facts about this paper. Would you at least go read up on this research before you try to critique it?

Congrats. You admit to two release dates of the same report.

Wrong. Again. There were two different papers, using two different sets of data, and covering two different time periods. You just cannot be this stupid (you can, however, be this much of a liar).

And I repeat for the 6th time, do you and Ron Turd believe there were 1,000+ violent deaths in Iraq per day?

Of course not. To arrive at that number I would have to believe that the 655,000 deaths occurred during a much shorter period of time than they actually did. Only you have accepted that time frame, and you did so for dishonest reasons.

And, of course, I now have my answer. The Lancet never reported that the U.S. and Israel were behind 9/11. Like everything else in this thread, you made that up on the spot.
