What a dumbfuck.

Pardon. But really - what a dumbfuck.

At least he's not very smart, and so, easily dismissed.

One point he makes that proves his own lack of education about what's going on in Iraq...

His point number 6, claiming that reports from the UN deny the thing about Iraqi children dying, that the standard of living and of health care is improving.

If I could rebut to him, I'd point out this report to the UN Security Council about conditions in Iraq and the number of deaths caused by the sanctions in place.

For example:

As a tragic illustration total annual deaths of children in Iraq under the age of five from respiratory infection, diarrhea and gastroenteritis and malnutrition are:

During

1989 : 7110 deaths

1991 : 27473

1994: 52905

1997: 58845

1998: 71279

1999(Jan.- Nov.): 73572

There's a lot more like that in the report. And he calls this an improvement in the standard of living and health care? I think somebody needs to actually research before he opens his mouth. He acted as if "leftists" pull the facts out of thin air... but that's exactly what he did.
