You mean, like you did? You said "hundreds of thousands" as if it were fact when, in reality, the number is very much in dispute. And you implied all those deaths are attributable to the US which is, well, for lack of a better word a LIE.
One source, collated from newspapers, listed a little about 120k. Coalition forces and Iraq reported 165,000 civilian deaths directly resulting from war violence. Other studies claimed 500k (which are including indirect causes). But how many are directly attributable to the US?
Or is it that if you don't like what the sources actually say you just make up your own numbers?
