Americans underestimate Iraqi death toll

[andruejaysin]

it's like bombing an entire town because one person committed a murder...well, we got the murderer! mission accomplished...nevermind the thousands of others you've pissed off for killing your relatives who didn't do a damn thing...

Saddam was executed for something very like that, just a shame gorgeous george and the dick weren't standing next to him on the gallows.

we talk about the number killed ... how about severly wounded, like you lost
your legs, or an arm and an eye. which would your choice if you had to have
one .... dead from a bullet to the head ... or no legs. I'll take the bullet ...
life is hard enough. COUNT severe casualties

wake up and smell the blood.
it took 1mil to die in Vietnam before we retreated,
how many more than 1million will die this time?
when will Americans find out the truth about what the US is doing in Iraq. I can't wait til the day it is known that the US has funded the Shia and Sunni militias.

Great link. The ironic thing is how low casulties are in afganistan, even bin laden is still alive. GW could have been one of the better presidents, just by not doing anything stupid. It proved beyond him.

Don't try to find a head count for it though because we don't keep track of those numbers.

Because it would be another way for us to measure this war's failure. I could care less what goes on in the middle east. Bush is such a bullshitter, and nothing he says is credible.

Please don't forget about the thousands of civilian contractors who have lost their lives as well. Most of them were just trying to earn a decent wage and provide for their families...Peace :jointsmile:

Hey, those guys had a choice. You don't go to a war zone where you're hated unless you're kinda nutzo, a lot of those guys were mercenaries that opted out of the military for the greater pay for doing the same thing. Greed got those comrads. They are making in excess of 100K a year, so you can't feel too sorry for them, they had a choice!

Rebgirl....nailed it. Thanks Reb.....


What would happen if they put on a uniform?

How do we even know what is a civilian, and what is an Insurgent?

I know when I put mine on I still felt my life as valuable as when I was a civilian. Perhaps if you'd served you'd understand.
