Why is it that America knows just how many of their own have been killed, but don't know how many Iraqis they have killed? Are Americans really so selfish that they don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about the people they are killing?

I guess they find it a little embarrassing, killing half a million or so innocent men, women and children because of WMD's that never existed.

Besides - I guess it is hard to count when you are dropping cluster bombs on civilian populations. They go off later like land mines, so it is hard to count how many children stumble onto them.

Those numbers are BS and include only the direct deaths, the indirect death toll based on famine, malnutrition, crime and violence is much higher! Taking into account that +1.000.000 Iraqis already died of such causes before the invasion even started, I guess between 1,500.000 and 3.000.000 should be closer to the truth.

Because they were ordered not to count the death Iraqis! Without actual hard numbers to rely on the death toll is what they say it is! Convenient don't you think?

The Iraqis are in the way and therefore have to disappear, either die or move somewhere else, they are occupying territory of the future "Greater Israel"! My guess is that Northern Iraq will be given to the Turks while the rest goes to Israel once the slaughter is over. The River Tigris in Iraq constitutes the eastern boarder in the plan for a "Greater Israel"!




"Freedom and democracy" my ass!

Nope. We could care less...we don't even aim usually, we just point in a direction and fire off a few rounds. Hopefully a bad guy gets killed, but if it's a good guy at least we didn't waste the taxpayer's money for ammo and ordnance.

Since you appear to be trolling, I'll just troll back.

600,000?
The fake death rate used to be 650,000...then it became a 1,000,000 which was just to stupid to believe.

whatever...

I thought the point of this thread was to list and honor the soldiers on the Allied side who had died fighting in Iraq..but I guess its just another necro counter using them



Oh and good reply Herkdriver

:
Why do the people who carried out the illegal invasion deserve any honour?

Where is the honour for the unknown hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children killed because GWB told lies.

What did Iraqi civilians ever do to the USA that they deserved to have cluster bombs dropped on them?
