we al have our DU moments...

"The Iraq Coalition Casualty Count, an independent Web site that uses news reports to do its tallies, reported that at least 840 Iraqi civilians died in June, compared with an all-time high of 1,100 the previous month."

Buried down at the bottom of the TraitorTimes article is a breakdown of the non-insurgent deaths in Iraq, i.e. the number of actual civilians killed in Iraq.

840/30=28 per day.

That's right. Once you filter through the festering garbage in the NYTimes/HoustonChron article, you learn that 28 civilians and 72 Al Qaeda fighters are being killed, on average, per day in Iraq over the past month.

Of course, the TraitorTimes lumps them altogether...after all...Al Qaeda fighters don't wear uniforms. So "guys in civilian clothes" are being killed at the rate of 100 per day over the past month.

If the Chronicle printed it, look elsewhere for proof. The Chron is almost as unbiased as the NYT.

Yes, but that looks too much like good news.

And the NewYorkSlimesHoustonComical won't be having any of that.

And of those 28 civilians... it doesn't mention how many of those were killed by the terrorists.

And what is the UN doing to help the situation? Oh yeah absolutely NOTHING!

[Clock King]

What the daily kill rate under Saddam?? Hmmm?

[When do we get liberated?]

36,500

Isn't Bagdad their last stand? Throughout his tenure Paul Bremer insisted that Bani Sadr had to be reined in. I think he is still wrecking havoc with his private militia in coop with Iran.

Iraq has become a violent and lawless anarchy. What a tragedy. Let us hope that those nursing the facile hope that we can "build democracy" in the Mideast will be disabused of their dangerous fantasies.

"100 per day? 365,000 per year? More than Hussein? "

36,500. About as many that are killed in car accidents here in a year.

Kind of like the gun grabbers who say five kids a day are killed by guns ... including 19-year-old gang bangers.

I guess to them, the end justifies the lies.

[blaquebyrd]

LOL!!!

[DannyTN]

"100 per day? 365,000 per year? More than Hussein? I don't think so."

Bad math day? 100 * 365= 36,500 per year.

But that is the correct question. How does it compare to Hussein's reign? And even if it was higher, which it is not, there is still a difference between being killed by a dictator, and being killed by terrorists.

more BS from the lamestream media, the obvious point of the story though is that so few US soldiers are dying the US news media had to scury to find something else to twist into bad news...

<< Iraqi civilian deaths average 100 per day >>

The Iraqis are pikers, then.

In America, as only a couple of examples, 130 or so Americans die per day in traffic accidents, 100 by homicide and 175 from Alchoholism.

Can someone help me with this math…

I want to find how many people per 100K

Iraq’s population is 26,783,383 (from CIA info)
At 100 per day that works out to be 9.5/100,000 is that right?

At 28 per day that works out to be 2.7/100,000 is that correct?

sometimes I screw up on my math...

Thanks

Terrorists. The media calls them "insurgents", "fighters" and other things, but they are terrorists.
