The other day I wrote about the latest crapola from the Left which somehow arrived at the conclusi<\/a>on that more than 77,000 members of the military had died in the war against terror. Today, they’re telling us that more than one million Iraqis have been killed in that war;<\/p>\n

Over one million Iraqis have met violent deaths as a result of the 2003 invasion, according to a study conducted by the prestigious British polling group, Opinion Research Business (ORB). These numbers suggest that the invasion and occupation of Iraq rivals the mass killings of the last century\u2014the human toll exceeds the 800,000 to 900,000 believed killed in the Rwandan genocide in 1994, and is approaching the number (1.7 million) who died in Cambodia\u2019s infamous \u201cKilling Fields\u201d during the Khmer Rouge era of the 1970s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since I’d never heard of “Opinion Research Business”, I went to their website to find out how they arrived at that number. First of all, I couldn’t find the survey, or anything about it, but this is from their “What We Do<\/a>” page;<\/p>\n

ORB provide a full range of quantitative and qualitative research services. We have expertise in ad-hoc and continuous research in the UK and over 60 other countries.<\/p>\n

Perhaps unique among research agencies ORB offer an in-house messaging service. This provides research-led communication and message development consultancy, helping to ensure our clients’ research is presented in the most lucid and persuasive manner possible.<\/p>\n

Quantitative Research <\/p>\n

Telephone (CATI), Face-to-Face, Omnibus, Online, Hall Tests, Audience Response (Dials):<\/p>\n

In-house Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) unit with 25 stations.
\nNationwide random face-to-face surveys.
\n28 regional supervisors with access to a field-force of over 300 interviewers.
\nReal-time audience monitoring using a System of Testing Audience Reactions <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, basically, they do opinion research (like their name tells us). If they did any research on casualties in Iraq, it was based on opinions and perception that are favorable to their client – the Left. So I guess that makes it more credible to anyone who thinks the war in Iraq was wrong. It’s just simply not true. But, hey, who needs truth? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
