He's lying, or he's stupid: Bush says 30,000 Iraqis killed since war began

Bush says 30,000 Iraqis killed since war began

In answer to a question about the Iraqi death toll, Bush said about 30,000
Iraqis have been killed since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003.


Bush's figure for the death toll among Iraqis was in the range given by
Iraq
Body Count, a U.S. British nongovernmental group, which currently says
between 27,383 and 30,892 civilians -- rather than all Iraqi citizens --
have
been killed in Iraq since the invasion.

Its figures are based on
media reports, which often fail to capture all
deaths in the country. Other
estimates, including one done by scientists and
published in the medical
journal Lancet, put the civilian death toll as high as
100,000.

Either he's lying, or he's flat ignorant and stupid. Those are the options. Every day is a new embarrasment for our Mad President George.

He's lying, or he's stupid. He's lying, or he's stupid.
