If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.



The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period.



That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.


Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.


It is a toss up....LOL

They want it to keep on coming?

Yep, I think we should stay and not announce any reductions or pullouts, that would seem like a signal to the enemy, at least in my humble opinion.

Hey, I was born in Washington, D.C. I don't think Learning Richard can claim that distinction. Stop besmirching my hometown!

Conclusion: Republicans should move to Iraq so they can be where it is safest.

That does not only apply to DC. More young men between the ages if 18 and

26 have died violently in every major US city since 2003 than have died in Iraq or anywhere else in Iraq. ;)

Apparently, that gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when you go to sleep at night.
