    Name a single act or group that Soros has funded that doesn't serve his agenda. He wouldn't "invest" his money on anything that didn't produce results in his favor.

    Soros has no connection to the Johns Hopkins-Bloomberg School research inasmuch as I have been able to determine. (If there…

    The used the same flawed technique for estimating Iraqi death rates as did Lancet

    Johns Hopkins' research was peer-reviewed and found to be based on sound methods. I don't know what Lancet has to do with it.

    What about Fumento's work? Why nothing about that?

    It makes NO…

    Still, don't you think it's odd that a Soros-funded "survey"...

    You really seem to believe that George Soros paid for the survey, and by so doing, told the researchers not to conduct an honest survey. Do you actually expect others to be as gullible as you have chosen to…

    And it's how many times higher than any other estimation?

    No other estimates have been compiled by anyone doing research with anywhere near the same level of detail and rigor as the two universities cited in the Johns Hopkins report.

    The real story is why the US war-supporters have…

    Indicates sheer speculation rendering the rest of the discussion absolutely moot !

    LOL!!!!! Such shoddy reasoning is really funny.

    The number given, 654,965, is only speculative because the researchers cannot claim an exact number. Applying a 10-20% error rate to it still provides a result over a half-million who…

    According to nonbiased sources: "As many as 654,965 more Iraqis may have died since hostilities began in Iraq in March 2003 than would have been expected under pre-war conditions, according to a survey conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Al Mustansiriya University in…

    The key question of whether this marks an inflection point or just a deviation from trend can only be answered with the passage of time.

    Good. Then it is foolish to jump to any conclusions about the trend, and certainly dumb for some to declare that this temporary lull…

    Ah, the unanswered question. The best friend of conspiracy theorists worldwide. Only in their mind does asking a question about your position constitute "proof" of theirs.

    LOL!!!!

    Well, certainly your failure to supply any intelligent answers bolsters their position. Just how could the Taliban have "gained" so much strength…

    A Republican can only keep lying to himself for so long before something snaps. I won't say a conscience...

    Usually death comes before anything close to reality sets in for them. Of course, you've got the guys like Lee Atwater who, on their deathbeds, come to realize all the…

    What is about the headline 'Iraqi violence down' that so upsets some people here?

    It's not the report of "violence down" that is upsetting. Not in the least. (But a level of decrease from "horrendous" to just plain awful is nothing to celebrate.)

    Thinking back on all the conservatives'…
