Modric anonymous at the weekend apparently. Lucky guess on my behalf iih I'll take your word for it mate.

Spurs kick off the new season with an unbalanced side and shaky performances, Berbatov still not sold and the first signs that Ramos could be vamos. Next game away to Chelsea.

“We can win FA and the Carling Cup, they’re definitely the two chances we have. At the moment we’ve got a chance of winning the league, but that may peter out as the season goes on, it depends on how we play. If I talk about putting a strong side out, I had my only 19 fit players against Bolton at the weekend and one of those, Obafemi Martins has picked up a groin strain. I love his optimism, but really?

War profiteering. war crimes, the decimation of Iraq.

The U.S. started arming Sunni militia (ex-local fighters ) last year. The Shia led 'Govt' are asking the U.S. to cease this apparently for good reason. But that doesn't account for the South African, Chilian, El Salvadorian, Polish, Chechen, death squads (mystery funded/Blackwater ) roaming around at night trigger happy. Bit like that time some of our SAS chappies were caught with an IED. -
Is that his bedroom?

Yeah, but this isn't statistical variation that's being discussed. It's not as though we're doing a medical study for example and we're looking at variation in ages or whatever, it's a hard number that they're estimating. That line is just pure wank trying to make their point sound more intelligent than just "uh, we're not sure how many people have died but it might be this many." I've never seen the paper, but I assume the world health organisation did more than stick a finger in the air. "degree of statistical certainty" suggests some sums were involved. The problem is they did a statistical analysis on figures that were very... pliable, then decided to pick a figure in the middle (based on what I'm not sure - it is the mean, I guess, but really that means ( ) not so much in this context). I don't know how you'd do something like that, we struggle enough in this country with data sets like that, never mind Iraq. Estimates for how many died in the Iran/Iraq war for example are wildly varying, and Iraq was in a much better state to have a clue then. No-one's denying the difficulty of statistical analysis in the area. That's why it's a massive range without certainty. It's importance is being that much higher than official guesstimates with more reliability. It's not though, it is at best a guesstimate, trying to tack statistical analysis onto a data set doesn't make it (the initial date set) better or more accurate. Think of it like money laundering. You push it through some stats and it comes out "clean", even if really it is not particularly. I don't think there'll ever be a remote accurate total for deaths in Iraq over recent years, never mind types of death/categories of death. You only have to look at how American casualties are continuing to be massaged. The old not counted if he didn't die in theatre trick. -

Probably sent out a floppy disk to all the warlords who then had a month to return it to the Office of National Statistics or incur a fine. -

I'd like to see some backup for that. Of course there has been a civil war of sorts, especially when the U.S. started creating and arming indigenous militia and various 'friendly factions'. **See Negroponte and the El Salvadorisation of Iraq. You create a massively unstable scenario with no post war plan of any kind and this is what you get basically. Backup provided by most daily news channels. Unless you think all the roadside and market bombings were done by yanks? Well if you sack the Iraqi army and the top tier of the administration you're going to get chaos aren't you? -

That line is just pure wank trying to make their point sound more intelligent than just "uh, we're not sure how many people have died but it might be this many." If anything I think those figures are conservative. Based on? The history of lies and the Western Media. Which bits of the articles you posted should we believe then? WHO, Lancet and many other sources of course the figures vary. But they are being blurred on the ground on purpose and with a purpose. Iraq has been bombed and starved back to the stone age. Of course in places like Fallujah and Najaf when there was a semblance of peace and locals controlling the hospitals and schools, the U.S. military went back in from the outskirts (Fallujah) and restarted fighting the locals. I don't believe the Americans want any kind of peace till Iraq is bought to its knees and private entities are in control of the majority of the assets. Of course this mirrors the demolishing of the PLO by Israel at the very moment the PLO were asking for peace and had a ceasefire ongoing for many months. Peace is of no interest here. Just a landgrab as in Iraq. -

"The surveyors said they found a steady increase in mortality since the invasion, with a steeper rise in the last year that appears to reflect a worsening of violence as reported by the U.S. military, the news media and civilian groups. In the year ending in June, the team calculated Iraq's mortality rate to be roughly four times what it was the year before the war. Of the total 655,000 estimated "excess deaths," 601,000 resulted from violence and the rest from disease and other causes, according to the study. This is about 500 unexpected violent deaths per day throughout the country. The survey was done by Iraqi physicians and overseen by epidemiologists at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health. The findings are being published online today by the British medical journal the Lancet..." -

"February 15, 2003 Main article: February 15, 2003 anti-war protest Millions of people protested, in approximately 800 cities around the world.

With that graphics card NONE. If it intergrated on a Desktop, can it be changed? No. Is there any way I can add a graphics card, even a mobile one. I have the Dell Inspiron 530. Eh?

What? I think that's what he meant. Its just a stupid statement, they are 95percent certain that they arent certain how many people have died American military is on purpose not keeping a civilian body count, hence the accuracy issues. -

http://www.blackwaterusa.com/company_profi...ore_values.html Not one mercenary convicted of any crime. I said a few years ago that war logistics embedded companies would would drive American foreign policy for chaos and profit, what I didn't realise is that they would have their own armies as well.
