And I stand by my statement as you've produced nothing that makes my statement incorrect. Go back and re read your original post. You said "We" killed over 100k in Iraq because your lefty sources count every Iraqi civilian who dies a violent death as a result of the war in Iraq. No "we" haven't, because any Iraqis killing each other isn't "we" killing them. Our military hasn't killed anywhere close to that amount. Dems da facts.
The lefty sources at the International Red Cross..?
They have the civilian casualties of the Iraq war at over 100,000 (period)
It's our war - you might want to try a little good old fashioned "American Accountability"
When it isn't US munitions killing them, then it isn't "we" killing them as you stated.
You want to know when "we" actually killed more than 100k civilians? WWII. Firebombing numerous Jap and German cities not even including Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 2 examples of many:

Tokyo: "....Tokyo: The first raid using low-flying B-29s carrying incendiary bombs to drop on Tokyo was on the night of 24–25 February 1945 when 174 B-29s destroyed around one square mile (3 km²) of the city.[citation needed] Changing their tactics to expand the coverage and increase the damage, 335 B-29s took off[1] to raid on the night of 9–10 March, with 279 of them[1] dropping around 1,700 tons of bombs. Fourteen B-29s were lost.[1] Approximately 16 square miles (41 km²) of the city were destroyed and some 100,000 people are estimated to have died in the resulting firestorm, more than the immediate deaths of either the Hiroshima or Nagasaki atomic bombs.[2][3] The US Strategic Bombing Survey later estimated that nearly 88,000 people died in this one raid, 41,000 were injured, and over a million residents lost their homes. The Tokyo Fire Department estimated a higher toll: 97,000 killed and 125,000 wounded. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department established a figure of 124,711 casualties including both killed and wounded and 286,358 buildings and homes destroyed. Richard Rhodes, historian, put deaths at over 100,000, injuries at a million and homeless residents at a million.[citation needed] These casualty and damage figures could be low; Mark Selden wrote in Japan Focus:
The figure of roughly 100,000 deaths, provided by Japanese and American authorities, both of whom may have had reasons of their own for minimizing the death toll, seems to me arguably low in light of population density, wind conditions, and survivors' accounts. With an average of 103,000 inhabitants per square mile and peak levels as high as 135,000 per square mile, the highest density of any industrial city in the world, and with firefighting measures ludicrously inadequate to the task, 15.8 square miles (41 km2) of Tokyo were destroyed on a night when fierce winds whipped the flames and walls of fire blocked tens of thousands fleeing for their lives. An estimated 1.5 million people lived in the burned out areas....."

Just 2 of the biggest examples of many.....
