How many people have died because of Bush decisions?

[sirio11]

Does anybody have an estimate in the last 4 years?

American lives? Non-american lives?

I know is very hard to measure this, but you think more than 1000 American lives have been saved because of his policies?

Here's my wild guess:

American lives: 1000

Non-American lives: 20,000

American lives saved:1000

My American lives saved figure is the 'average' figure I reckon would have died if Bush had not done what he has done. As in I reckon there would be about a 5% chance that terrorists would have some how killed 20,000 Americans.

4000

50000

[GWB]

These questions in a vacuum are pointless. Add these questions:

How many people died during the GWB administration due to decisions made (or decisions avoided) by Clinton during his administration?

How many people would have died under a Gore administration?

If you answer those, I will look good.

How many died by President Roosevelt"s decsions?

5 Million?

[jokerswild]

About 3000 on 9-11. About 1200 soldiers in Iraq. About 150 thousand Iraqis. analyzing his other policies would add a considerable number.

The mere fact that President Lincoln was even elected probably cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
