Is that what you are saying?
Or is the 50,000 the entire count including Iraqis/insurgents etc?

That is not what I am saying, so please don't try and put words in my mouth. The question posed to say that the Democrats would get a free pass if they started a war in which 50,000 people died, which is just untrue. The Democrats would get the same treatment, and probably worse because of the media machine that is in the Republican's back pocket. If the Democrats did 1/10th of the garbage that the Republicans have in the past five years they would be hunted down and publicly hung. Jesus, Clinton lied about getting head in the Oval Office and it caused a **** storm of epic proportions. Imagine if he had decided to invade Kosovo, 3,000 Americans were killed, and a billion and a half dollars a day was spent "nation building", what would the response have been? How kind do you think Fox and Clear Channel would be in support of that war?
