Those that fight for Blair, and those that fight against

We should not be suprised at those that would claim to be against the war, but provide Blair's own propaganda figures for the number of those slaughtered. But then, if people accepted the true figure of dead in Iraq, it becomes all too obvious that Blair is planning to exterminate MILLIONS in Iran, and those that have arranged and worded the recent vigils on behalf of Blair certainly don't want people thinking along those lines.
Look carefully at these MANY MANY vigil reports, and note the language they use. Is Blair a murderer? Was the attack an AGGRESSIVE WAR? Are those that attempted to defend Iraq turned into sub-humans, and excluded from memorial? Did you see the words 'war crime'? Was the smallest number possible used to describe the Iraqi dead? Even for those of you that are foolish enough to think that a useful purpose is served by making heroes of AGGRESSIVE WAR soldiers, was the language of the reports weak or strong?
Blair's covert agents WILL NOT hurt their master. Pushed, they will find EVERY EXCUSE UNDER THE SUN why the best strategy for an anti-war movement is to be weak and ineffective. They take positions of leadership to run the movement into the ground, or better, to persuade it to engage in activities that positively benefit Blair, and his war aims.

don't use body count

For a more serious account quote the Roberts report from the Lancet, estimating casualties at around 100,000. This is a peer-reviewed paper and is by an author who's previous count of the victims of the Congolese civil war has been praised.
