Answer 1

Iraqi government is less corupt than Chicago's.....

Answer 2

Ha, Because the man is worthless. I guess being a Community Organizer wasn't enough.

Answer 3

Did you forget to count how many Iraqis died in that same time period troll?

Answer 4

Biased

You didnt add the iraqi casualties

Answer 5

Thank You for that.

I'm not that surprised with that statistic  ...I'm from Chicago's South Side and I have recently lost several young relatives to street violence and murder.

Obama is a disaster and failure as a community changer!

Answer 6

baghdad has about  4 armed US military per block 24/7 .  chicago has a lot less.

maybe we have our priorities in  bad order.

Answer 7

Cause they have a c**p load of Marines there.

Chicago has police.

"that's nearly double the number of US soldiers". How many civilians died? Safer? Then why do they still need our soldiers?

Think, it ain't illegal yet.

Answer 8

Well they sent the Military to Iraq NOT Chicago

Bush don't care about crime in urban area's

Cleo your slippin!

Answer 9

because luckily Obama wasn't the one who "organized" Iraq.

Answer 10

Its not just Chicago Illinois, ever been to Ford Heights, or Chicago Heights? Not very pleasant places.

Answer 11

Funny how you didn't include the number of Iraqis killed in Iraq in your little piece.

Answer 12

Not as many Democrats in Iraq.

Answer 13

Y E S ! !  ... Thanks to his local politics and his community organizer activities ... or .. lack there of !!!

Obama is going to give our sovereignty over to the United Nations through his Global Poverty Act (S.2433).

Alaska Govermor Sarah Palin has MORE TOTAL political experience than Obama.

Answer 14

And almost all of them on the South Side...

Obama must have been organizing the community into gangs...

Answer 15

Your odds are still a lot worse in Iraq.  

A city of what (10 million?  I don't know) VS a military force of 100 and some thousand.

It also doesn't count deaths of Iraqi's.

Answer 16

You're not Wright in disguise, are you?  Chicago has been so for ages, long before Obama set up residence there!

Answer 17

Because Chicago has areas that are very low income and as we all know when you are in low income areas sometimes people feel they dint have a way out. So they end up joining gangs, dropping out of school, having kids at early ages. And all of those kinds of things make things worse in those neighborhoods and when people get desperate they do things that are wrong and the crime rates goes up.  But there is nothing That Obama can do to stop that until we have somebody over there that tries to encourage kids to stay in school and make a better life for themselves.  

Answer 18

There are far more people living in Chicago than there are soldiers in Iraq.

This only includes US solider deaths, a very small minority of the Iraq population.

This does not include Iraqi deaths.  If I didn't include American deaths in Chicago, I bet the number might be just a tad bit smaller.  Don't you think?

US soldiers are armed and dangerous.  If you try to kill one, you will likely get yourself killed.

In conclusion, it is not safer in Iraq than in Chicago.  If you think it is so much safer in Iraq, perhaps you should move there.

Answer 19

4,155 confirmed US deaths since the Bush invasion of Iraq with McCain's blessings.  How many homicides in Chicago since the start of the war?  Obama didn't pull any triggers.

Plenty of manpower to keep the Bagdad streets safer but no money for more police officers to prevent crime here at home.  You and your ilk are real geniuses.

Answer 20

yet my sister in law who lives in Chicagoland still insistis on voting for this feminine product.  

Answer 21

Because he's not there anymore. The crime did drop while he was in office. Also EVERY major city has more people killed in it than Iraq. baltimore has twice as many people killed in it with half the population of Chicago.
