And this, of course, is why sometimes it pays to read a post backwards.
You’re going to hang your hat on Stephen “The Zionists Are Hiding Under My Bed!” Walt’s back-of-the-envelope math that’s uncited, unsourced, and unsubstantiated? Okay…
Even then, the total for pre-2001 deaths among Muslim civilians is actually set at about 3800 by Walt, with roughly 300 being from the disaster that was the Vincennes Affair and 3500 coming from the global coalition that fought against Iraq’s war of aggression against another Muslim nation. The proof of Walt’s desperation is that he tries to include sanctions against Iraq in the mix which UNSCR 661 was approved by a supermajority of nations involved and only had a handful of abstentions, and even then was about protecting the region from Sadaam’s military ambitions.
At best, bombastic bluster and bullshit.
Nobody who has clue 1 calls Israel a US base or a US outpost, as it is neither. One might note that you’re also using fictional “pro-Israelis’ “ arguments to bolster your bluster.
You’re also egregiously abusing language to the point where you claim that saying a nation is our strongest ally means that it’s our “proxy state”. That’s an absurdity heaped high on counter-factual claims, and it evinces that your argument cannot be taken at face value.
Your uncited, unsourced, non-statistical, non-medical, non-epidemiological analysis is certainly compelling. Even if we were to accept that there were mutagenic, carcinogenic compounds introduced into the environment, that’s still not proof of your original claim, which you have yet to cite or substantiate.
If you cannot cleave to basic factual accuracy, then your entire argument is tainted. DU is not a “dirty bomb” any more than a close ally is a “proxy state”. You’re also wildly incorrect about the actual health risks of DU.
