FYI, the reason why I noted her repeated assertion of "300,000 gassed by Saddam!" was because the incident at Halabjah 17 years ago actually involved 295,000 fewer victims than that (I didn't even mention the fact that there is still a great deal of controversy over whether the gas was from Iraq or Iran, but I'm willing to stipulate that it was Saddam). I think it's disrepectful of her (or anyone) to invoke their deaths as
casus belli for our presence in Iraq; but it bugs me even MORE when they get the data WRONG.

Honestly. Between this and the whole "harassment" thing, I'm starting to wonder if some us aren't just a mite too thin-skinned.
