Wow, Baghdad is a dangerous place.
A whole bunch of things happened today in Iraq that certainly don't happen in Washington DC. For one, nine heads were found in fruit boxes. Wow. Then there were the gunmen who brazenly kidnapped 50 people in the middle of the day. Sheesh. Then the news that violent deaths in Baghdad have probably topped 6,000. This year. Wow, I wonder if this jackass at Newsmax is planning to retract. 6,000 this year alone with a record 1400 killed last month in Baghdad alone.

Wow, so if that keeps up that means Baghdad has a fatality rate of 257 per 100,000 per year so far (with 100k refugees and untold numbers of casualties) and the rate for the last month of 300 per 100,000 per year. Now, when you divide this new rate by the entire population of the country, you end up with about 20 per 100k per year. Hmmm, that makes me wonder, the Newsmax article suggested the death rate was about that, maybe, just maybe, those finks are dividing the Baghdad deaths by the population of the entire country? Interesting tactic.

Nothing like new statistics to show conservatives are totally full of shit. It should have been obvious to them not to propose such an obviously absurd statement as Iraq or Baghdad being safer than DC. It is prima facie bullshit, DC has no green zone, and you don't need a bullet-proof vest to walk around the city. I find it quite pleasant. Anyway, enough of this silly horseshit.
