According to the Lancet study group, Bush's Iraq War has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children. Even assuming the government's lowly numbers (100k) in lieu of the LSG, the human toll has been an avoidable tragedy, dwarfing the worst attack on American soil ever (911.)

Yeah but I thought one American life, particularly if taken by a terrorist, is worth 10,000 others.

The loss of life I'm referring to are innocent civilians, and I'm not counting the seriously injured (thousands) and displaced (millions.)

Your poll question is flawed. The events of 9/11 led to the war in Iraq, therefore 9/11 automatically wins since it will include the loss of civilian lives both in the United States and in Iraq.

They are not synonymous as Iraq was a war of choice; it had nothing to do with 911.

Funny that the left wing blames Bush or 200,000 deaths in Iraq when in fact 20 million lives were spared because of him.

Also, last time I checked Joe Biden, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and the list goes on and on who VOTED FOR THE WAR!

So without there votes we could NOT have went to war.

Thanks to the dems we got in this mess because they voted to send them to war instead of fighting the idea.

As someone above said, liberals have killed millions of innocent babies via murderous abortions but yet they think about this stuff.

So should we be keeping track of how many people have died thanks to Obamas choice of wars?

How about those people in Ft Hood who died thanks to Obama and the lefts political correctness?

How many AMERICANS have died in the last year due to being hungry or suicide due to Obamas poor economic ways?

And how about those left wing kooks who believe 9-11 was an inside job?

As one liberals here always says Obama kept more promises then he broke, now I can say BUSH SAVED MORE IRAQI LIVES THEM WERE LOST. Way to Go GW for saving millions more then died.

Someone needs to know that in a war people die.

We need to be keeping track of the deaths caused Obamas poor decision on our soil and off our soil.

And to think more soliders have died under Obamas watch in Afghanistan then under Bush, wonder why?

Looks like some people can't face up to the truth about Iraq.
