Number of people who no longer face mass graves, rape rooms, torture chambers and prisons for children -- 25 million. Number of liberals who care about the lives of brown-skinned people halfway around the world - 0.

Number of terrorist Saddam will be able to bankroll from now on: ZERO!

Number of Iraqis Saddam will be able to have murdered from now on: ZERO!

Number of Terrorist Attack on US soil since we took the fight to them: ZERO!

Those are the real numbers.

Like your blog. Stats are interesting.
Kindly inform the lone ranger that stats are neither liberal or conservative. What was posted in this post is the truth weather we like it or not. can you label someone for telling the truth? Sometimes the truth hurts more than a lie. Im sorry lone ranger that you think all Liberals are heartless bastards, as a liberal i was just as concerned about the wellfare of the Iraqi people as the average conservative. On the other hand I beleived that the state of the Iraqi people was not MR. Bushes reason for war in Iraq. If you will recall, Mr. Bush believed and led the American people beleive that Iraq had weapons of Mass Destruction and was intent on using them against the United States making it a viable reason to interfere in an international affair.You will recall that when no weapons of mass destruction were found Mr. Bush very quickly changed his tune and brought us this sob story about toppling a horrible dictator and bringing about the spred of democracy. You do realize that during this time the US government under control of Mr. Bush organized the overthrow of DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED Hatian President Jean-Baptiste Aristide. I may also remind you that throughout history the US government has a track record of supporting dictator s as long as the dictators serve the US interests. I would also remind you that the US government for a long time SUPPORTED Mr. Saddam Hussein. In conclusion let me say that nothing is as simple as what the government wants you to believe.

Numeric, you posted numbers that support both sides of the aisle. Too bad people can only see what supports their own position.

Keep up the number crunching!
