Good God...
Some excerpts:
An estimated 13,000 Iraqis, including as many as 4,300 non-combatants, were killed during the major combat phase of the war in Iraq, a research group found in a study.
The study, authored by Carl Coneta, found that deaths of Iraqi civilians who did not take up arms in the fighting was as high or higher than in the 1991 Gulf War despite advances in precision weaponry.
[The study] attributed the higher civilian death toll in 2003 to the fact that US forces invaded Iraq to change the regime.
Remember how the Pentagon and the Bush Administration touted this war as a "clean" war? Add that to the list of hype and lies.
Bush & Co. will likely step up and denounce this study as somehow untrue, given their penchant for dismissing exact science in favor of wishful thinking. Meanwhile, there's been Pentagon analysis of the war dead, likely because the Bush Administration knows that such an analysis would result in the same finding as this study. Of course, they never did a study of the war dead resulting from Gulf War I.
