Bush Bashers are WRONG

OK, but let’s do this again using your source with military casualties due to hostile action.

From Table 5, on Page 11.

Clinton years (1993-2000): 1 death

George W years (2001-2006): 2,603 deaths

There’s a big difference. The number you posted included other causes and most were due to accidents, which were reduced over the years. Other deaths include homicide, suicide, and terrorism. Why didn't you mention that?

Actually, I expected more in 1993 from the Battle of Mogadishu, but I guess that was considered a terrorist attack.

If you are going to use the number of deaths of American soldiers for political reasons, at least try to get your numbers right.

Good catch. I didn't notice that myself. His numbers aren't right even for all military deaths.

Your numbers are right except for

1996 which should be 974, not 1974, and

2001, which should be 891 not 1891.

You should still have time to fix that.
