Want to know why?
Apparently, Supreme Overlord of the League of Extraordinary Left-Wing Billionares George Soros funded a good part of the study.
According to the study, 650,000 civilians were killed. Now, the New England Journal of Medicine estimates that the actual toll is less than a quarter of that…150,000.
I find this exceedingly annoying, because the timing of the release of the study was intentionally set to coincide with the 2006 midterms, and the Dems used these most likely doctored numbers to springboard into the House and Senate, and we see the results of THAT little mess. The Democrats are so delusioned that now they are calling a guy with three years of national political experience their new champion.
On top of that, the researchers of the project were admittedly anti-war from the start.
I want to share a little love across the blogosphere at this point, because Tigerhawk has an extremely effective analysis of these revelations here.
Someone asked me last week why Soros doesn’t just run for President with all this money. This is why; he can do a whole heck of a lot more damage to the country by funding every far-left organization in existence than he can making some knee-jerk bid to become President.
