>That silence resulted in the loss of at least one hundred and fifty thousand human beings needlessly
Just gonna point out that non-Americans are human beings as well, and millions have died - directly as a result of this silence.
The fact that Biden played a key part in enforcing this silence at various stages is particularly galling, and it's beyond fucked-up that he isn't held to account for it.

150k is the most conservative estimate I could find for Iraq. US and Iraqi deaths included. Some estimates are in the millions but I try to be as generous as possible to the other side of a argument I am making.
Iraq is not the only country where the Intelligence agencies were up to no good. But no, using American claims from sources linked to people justifying war about fatilities goes beyond being charitable.

It is the lowest I could find. It also has quite a list of criticisms attached to it.
The Iraq body count project counts more just from reported deaths alone.
I wouldn't be surprised if the ORB study showing in excess of 1.2 million is closest to the truth. especially since it ended in 2006 i think and it's not like people stopped dying since then.
