At last a Weapon of Mass Destruction has been created - self-Destruction.
I wonder how George is feeling today. Vindicated? Or does he notice that his initial irresponsiblity has ultimately released a monster that will probably be worse than Saddam? Keep washing your hands, George. That red ain't paint. I wonder what Gawd is telling you right now to ease your conscience.

So the total of soldiers dead in the war on terror is 9639 (Iraq and Afganistan including NATO troops-excluding PMCs). Russia lost 10,000 in their decade debacle in Afghanistan, and it was considered a major ass kicking...hmmmmmm

There's doubt about that number. Could be double.

That number, not necessarily right. It's an unreliable estimate. The Soviets were well-known for faking stats.

I point at the newest voting fraud as an example.
