On the 5th Anniversary of 9-11
The question cries out for an answer:
Who has hurt us more?
George Bush's un-provoked, unnecessary, and largely unilateral invasion and unplanned occupation of Iraq (UULUIUOI) has cost our nation more in blood than Osama bin Laden.
OBL: Total Deaths - All 9/11 Attacks: 3,030
OBL: Total Injuries - All 9/11 Attacks: 2,337
GWB: Total US KIA in Iraq): 2,667
GWB: Total U.S. WIA in Iraq (not counting those troops wounded and returned to combat): 9,062

Randall Enos has similar graphic in the Los Angeles Times, today. Can't find it on line. You'll have to actually open your newstand copy...
;-)
A unique view of two separate forms of terror......
The results of two different crusades, one ran by a the chief of state of a nation the other ran by a leader of a shadowy international organization. The common factor though is that both can be labled terrorist.
Nice post--I wanna steal that graphic so bad!!
Please just link it, Pete. (or take it, if you just have to have it!)
Thanks to the Belly of the Beast, I found this graphic presentation of the tragic and inexorable climb of our Iraqi KIA stats, upwards and toward surpassing the number of our civilians killed on 9/11/01.
Great post!
The American people wake up.? How can they when they think they are Republicans and Democrats and Libertarians, etc. . How can they when they think they are Christians , and Jews and Muslims, etc.
The whole point of our type of system is for people not to wake up.
Divide and conquer is the age old method to enslave people.
The religious people are the front people for the corporations.
They invented the word sheep or flock to describe their followers.
The power possesors are ironicly ignorant as to the reality of the system also for the most part. They like us , are also going through the motions, without being concious of the destructive effect.
Bush a fraud/fake.? You are giving him way to much credit. Second rate actor, with no intellectual chops. Just the guy to represent the American people right now. Like attracts like.
These guys might be Neanderthalian cave men, Soros, but in a battle of wits they certainly have overwhelmed Bush. Even the NYT's resident conservative, John Tierney, agrees in today's Osama’s Spin Lessons!
Soros, do what you can to prevent Terrorist George from debating Terrorist Osama at the U.N.! Otherwise your shame will double.
Thanks to Edgar Newt's End Notes, I have discovered and digested Keith Olberman's 9-11-06 commentary. I recommend watching this to the very last line.
This is a body count that is hard to find in the newspapers or on TV. Is there a similar breakdown of civilian casualties, and of the "terrorists"?
I'm glad to see these statistics finally being published. Dubya & Co. are far more of a threat to the U.S. than Al-Queda. Now, the numbers prove it. Thanks, vigilante. And, BTW, I AM going to steal that graphic; or am I borrowing it?
And of course, on top of the death toll, when it comes to doing anything to stop terrorism what exactly has Bush achieved?
