Apparently, George Soros funded the now-discredited Lancet study that claimed half a million Iraqis were dead in the War.
Conservatives are getting very smug about how the new study shows that “only” 150,000 Iraqis have died in the War. 150,000 is still a fucking lot of dead people, folks.

That it is. Our estimate is that we’ve killed 20,000 anti-government forces in Iraq. Who do you think is killing the other 130,000?
One of the good things to come out of this war (which I hope will balance the loss of all of this life) is that the brutal tactics of terrorists will be discredited for all time in the minds of Muslims since they are the primary victims of it. There is evidence that this is starting to happen in Pakistan too.
