You can read the full text here. Brad has some other figures that put the whole argument into stark perspective.Counting only the dead (and only the American dead, in this case, since estimates of violent Iraqi civilian fatalities during the war are currently estimated to be anywhere from a conservative 150,000 to more than 1,000,000) that totals 4,245 Americans killed by terrorists, or in optional conflicts with terrorists, since 9/11.

I have to think that they are just being willfully obtuse at this point.
