John Mc: Statistics, hell. It looks like George can't even do arithmetic.
The trouble is, the arithmetic doesn't support the 'statistics' from the
study that Julie cited. It concluded that 654,000 - or 2.5% of the
population had been killed.
For Julie, Just a beginning of my analysis, which will probably be met with
"oh come on Paul, don't spin for Bush" admonitions from all the alarmists:
Well let's just take the 100 people a day in the streets of Baghdad
"statistic". Over 3 years, if 100 citizens of Baghdad were killed --There
are approximately 5.7 million citizens living there -- therefore, this only
represents about 0.19% of the population of Baghdad. So... for
approximately 25% of the population of Iraq, living in what is arguably one
of the most violent zones of the country, the death rate is .19%. I would
like to know, where are all these other of the '47 randomly selected'
sections where they conducted the interviews.
