Boxer Lies About War Dead

In yesterday's Condi Rice hearings, Barbara Boxer (one of just two votes against Condi, along with John Kerry) said 25% of US military fatalities in Iraq came from California. That would be 342 of California's finest, based on the current count of 1,370 combat deaths.

The actual number of California soldiers who have lost their lives in Iraq is 157, according to Iraqi Coalition Fatality Count. That's 11.5%, not 25%.

Boxer is exploiting the war dead for her own political ends. How disgusting. How typical.
