Early on, or fro the consequences

assuming it only stays on airtrikes ... you are looking at possibly 10K dead (if they don't use nukes)

If they use nukes... go upwards of a million

Now if you do the numbers for the decade... you are looking at a million if they don't use nukes

And well over that if they use nukes

of course one civilian is way too many.

Damn I hate being able to answer these questions...

:-(

6. I found out that question does not matter to the right wing at the start of the Iraq war.

I worked with several of them at that time and they were boasting of our conquests, and about the big bunker buster that hit close to a hotel, and I said, "What about the people who work in that hotel?" One said, I don't give a shit about that.

9. Just like Bush's mom, not worrying her beautiful mind about body bags.

10. There better not be any stinking air strikes against Iran.

The day that happens, Bush is toast. Americans won't stand for it, but then I thought that when the USSC stole the Presidency for Bush.

11. I'm sorry but I don't buy htat argument anymore

if bush is toast is because the world has had it with this idiot...

I know you can say WW III

But the United States population speak up? You've got to be kidding me... Idol's on!

Yep, I am at the point that I don't believe the population will do waht needs to be done

Now if we could get the 33% that hates this man's guts to DC and stage a demo... then perhaps...

12. Tens of thousands in the initial days.

Probably a few hundred thousand or so after all is said & done. That's if it's short & by US definitions, surgical.

Of course, it could very well run into the millions if it drags on or if the US uses nukes.

But, either way, your average American won't give 'em a second thought.
