All I See Are Dead PeopleMarc Nortonbyline‚ Oct. 20‚ 2006It was Bruce Willis who famously said "All I see are dead people." But George Bush doesn't see them, or at least not a lot of them. Commenting on a report from the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, that more than 650,000 Iraqis have died in the wake of the U.S. invasion, Bush says he just doesn't believe it. "I do know that a lot of innocent people have died, and that troubles me and it grieves me." He says he'll stick by the figure of 30,000 dead given to him by "General Casey" and unnamed "Iraqi officials." As horrific as the war in Iraq is, Iraqis aren't the only ones on the planet who are dying. According to the United Nation's World Food Program, every five seconds a child dies because that child is hungry. |
