yeah, this is definitely numbers fixing, berserker, you nailed it there.
anyone who says we're comparing apples with apples is just, well, a fcking moron. I'm sorry, but there's no other way to say it. You include car bombs in the before count, but not in the afters, and use the results to show progress - that's something a 1st grader would try to pull off.
I beg all of you - please do not carry the water of this obvious lie. You will look the fool.
