Lancet revises Iraqi deaths from 655,000 to 108,00

Suicide bombers are responsible for killing more than 12,000 Iraqi civilians and wounding more than 30,000 since the war began, according to study released by the British medical journal Lancet.

The study found that 1,003 documented suicide bombings accounted for 12,284 of 108,624 Iraqi civilian deaths, 11% of those killed between March 20, 2003, and December 31, 2010.

It also found such attacks accounted for 30,644 -- or 26% -- of the 117,165 documented cases of Iraqi civilians wounded within the same period.

The Lancet also faced criticism for publishing a study in 2006 that found 600,000 Iraqi civilians had been killed during the war. The authors' findings were widely dismissed.

The DUmbasses will be crushed by this news.

And then they'll go back to lying about Bush having killed 1 million...single-handedly.

And all it took to get the number adjusted was putting a Liberal in the White House.

Right...and Stalin only killed a few hundred.
