The Democrats are still hard at work producing more "October Surprises." It is beginning to appear that they may have pulled the trigger on the so-called "Foley cover-up" too soon. They pulled it the day after the last day that Foley could have been replaced on the November ballot. Purely a coincidence I'm sure.

Now they have produced an estimate of the number of Iraqi's who have died since the US invaded in 2003. They do this just before each election. Now they say there have been 655,000 excess deaths (whatever that means) in Iraq since 2003. That seems like a lot of people to have died in a country of 25 million, especially since given the huge numbers reported by these same folks as having died in the ten years prior to 2003 due to US sanctions. I wonder why newspapers print such obviously inaccurate information. Are all of the media really shills for the Democrats? It certainly appears that a strong case can be made that they are.
