Dr. Gilbert Burnham on the 654,965 Death Toll in Iraq

Washington, D.C. - Dr. Gilbert Burnham is the co-author of the report entitled: "The Human Cost of the War in Iraq: A Mortality Study (2002-2006)." (1) It was published by "The Lancet," a British Medical Journal, in Oct., 2006. (2) It concluded that 654,965 Iraqis have died as a result of the U.S.-led invasion on March 20, 2003, and from the subsequent occupation of that country by the military forces of the Allied Coalition. President George W. Bush Jr., the Liar-in-Chief, dismissed it as "not a credible report." He insisted that only "about 30,000 Iraqis" have been killed in the war. Nevertheless, the study on Iraqi mortality has withstood all attempts by Right Wing ranters to debunk it. On May 8, 2007, Dr. Burnham gave a Power Point presentation on his work. He went into considerable details with respect to the research, practice and methodology which were utilized in collecting the mortality data. The disaster that is Iraq, is found in this number: 654,965!
