What percentage of the million Iraqis we've killed were terrorists? |
|
I was never too good at math, big numbers confuse me, percentages, estimates, etc., sometimes I have to concur to the math experts to help me understand certain statistics.
Do they count the terrorists apart from the women and children? How do they know which headless, tortured, bullet riddled body was that of a terrorist American Freedom hater, and which were merely by standers?
Any math experts here?

...loaded with partisan political subtext, I'd have to say the answer to your question is none of them. If we weren't there, these people wouldn't be fighting us. It's a bit rich to invade someone's country and then start calling the people who want you out "terrorists."

3. You know the pentagon does not use math experts... |

they use mathemagicians. Just look at how fast they make unaccounted money dissappear.

4. Something much less than 1%. |
|
But given that "terrorist" is such loaded terminology, one hates to answer at all. In this case, I am using the term in the sense of people who might actually have posed some sort of domestic threat to Amurkins at some time in their lives, had we not occupied their country.

5. 100%. By definition any dead Iraqi is a "terrist," |
|
hell-bent on bringing death and destruction to innocent Americans.
