WHEN did the DOD start listing Iraqi Casualties??? (cheney the dick)

EDWARDS: John Kerry will never give up control over the security of the United States of America to any other country. We will not outsource our responsibility to keep this country safe.

IFILL: Mr. Vice President, you have 90 seconds to respond.

CHENEY: Well, Gwen, the 90 percent figure is just dead wrong. When you include the Iraqi security forces that have suffered casualties, as well as the allies, they've taken almost 50 percent of the casualties in operations in Iraq, which leaves the U.S. with 50 percent, not 90 percent.

Cheney the dick is STUPID. YOUR "coalition", Cheney. And of YOUR "coalition", cheney, OVER NINETY PERCENT - 90% - of the deaths are AMERICAN, cheney.

And THAT'S just another of them FACTS you so hate.

1. It is incredible

And I think the average watcher would have noticed that.

Combined with the administration's lack of acknowledging casualties since the invasion began - I think it seemed like a bad thing for Cheney to emphasize - Edwards did a good job of pushing him on it.

9. God, I'm so stupid!

I can't believe I missed that! I was able to refute his manipulation of terms but didn't go the next step like you have. Bravo. :toast:

4. Now that Cheney has found a cynical way

to minimize the loss of our brave young men and women, maybe he will now start telling us how many innocent Iraqi civilians have died.

8. maybe that's why Bush and Cheney have no time for American casualties

they must be spending all their time at funerals of the Iraqi security forces
