The Republicans were being criticised for screwing up in Iraq, so they could use something which makes the Democrats look like they’ve killed more of “our boys”.

I don’t trust anyone who stays steadfastly anonymous while claiming to present “facts”.

Oh dear, their credibility vanished faster than a fine bottle of red wine in Amanda Vanstone’s office.

It’s a pretty graphic with pretty circles, but I was left wondering what the bloody point of it was. To attempt to break down involvement in international conflicts to a partisan-related death toll is disingenuous to say the least.

On the plus side, it has alerted me to the existence relatively obscure conflicts like the Barbary Wars, which might be worthy of a Wikisearch or two.
