How many were being killed before we invaded?

Tom Brosz — 9/20/2004 1:46:00 AM (archived)

We can play that numbers game all over again if you want. I remember the liberals throwing the "5,000 children a month dying from sanctions" around for quite a while.

Try and remember that the people we are fighting with in these few cities used to run the entire country. Was that better?

Now that we are hearing that Saddam was planning on restarting weapons programs after sanctions were lifted, what would your choices be? Keep the sanctions, and hope Saddam isn't sneakier than Hans Blix? Is 5,000 kids a month a fair price to pay for peace?

        As many as 2,000 Iraqis may have died in Operation Desert Fox. - Tom Brosz - 9/20/2004 12:49:39 AM

        Better hope Dean's got something there. The fantasy of impeachment will be all that's left for Democrats pretty soon. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 9/20/2004 12:31:27 AM
