..::Update::..
This is the update on the blog I wrote about liberal bias in college. Should be two posts down from this one.
This is the exchange that started it all:
Q: Since the inception of the Iraqi war, I'd like to know the approximate total of Iraqis who have been killed. And by Iraqis I include civilians, military, police, insurgents, translators.
THE PRESIDENT: How many Iraqi citizens have died in this war? I would say 30,000, more or less, have died as a result of the initial incursion and the ongoing violence against Iraqis. We've lost about 2,140 of our own troops in Iraq.
Every media outlet, including my professor, is concluding Bush said "30,000 civilians dead in war." Much different impression then the exchang shown above.
Come on, now. Let's stop SKEWING everything for political gain.
But after clearing the lecture hall of his political trickery, I was told I had a "valid point." Then why not state it in the first place, professor?
