Bush: 30,000 Iraqis Have Died in the War

Dubya made another war speech last night, but he made the fatal mistake of letting a not-quite-so-handpicked audience ask questions:

One woman asked how many Iraqis had been killed in the war.

"I would say 30,000, more or less, have died as a result of the initial incursion and the ongoing violence against Iraqis," Bush said. "We've lost about 2,140 of our own troops in Iraq."

So now, war supporters, do you think your war was "worth it"? Are 30,000 (or, likely, many more) Iraqi lives a fair price to pay for ousting a man who wasn't a threat to us or his neighbors, had no WMD, and was not connected in any way with al-Qaeda or 9/11?

If you answered "yes," please consider yourself hereby banished from the civilized world.
