An Interesting Fact

[Flow7]

If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period.

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S.Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S. should immediately pull out of Washington.

Good point ... DC may not be worth defending, they don't even have oil ... I heard something like that about Milwaukee ... but they at least make beer ...

Flow,

We should pull out of D.C?? Hee-hee! And why is it I don't see our politicians talking about an 'exit strategy' from a militant area?? LOL!!!

Sudo, politicians are real good at talking about everything. But in this case an exit strategy would involve them actually doing something about it and moving out of their nice safe offices. Actually, it might be a good idea to leave them all in one place, at least that way we know where they are.

I think we should give the whole bunch of DC bureaucrats single shot rifles and send them over to Afganistan to fight for democracy, lets just see how well they do *under fire*.

THey have an exit plan....Mr. Bush and collegues have an underground shelter inside Mt. Weather. I lived about 25 miles from there..There is also a FEMA station there...DC is a military base unto itself..
