2009 Less Bloody Than 2008 for Iraqi CiviliansPosted on Jan 1, 2010
A group that monitors the death toll in Iraq believes the number of civilian deaths in 2009 to be less than half the number for 2008. Yet the United Kingdom-based group said that terrorist violence “still afflicts Iraq’s population more than any other.” —JCL

Iraq*s population is 1/10 the U.S. so it would be like 50,000 Americans killed in
Report thisone year due to a civil war caused by a foreign power. And we don*t know why
“they” hate us? While the surge is spun as a successful reduction of violence?

Yep, disenfranchised Iraqi’s that lost their jobs/homes/families/arms/legs are called “terrorists” while the criminal US/UK militaries still roam the streets, killing millions more Iraqi’s, Afgani’s, Pakistani’s, Yemeni’s, Somalese…when will THOSE US military terrorists be put on no-flight lists? Stay home!!!!

2009 LESS BLOODY THAN 2008 FOR IRAQI CIVILIANS
Hey JCL:
Report thisDo you think we forgot who cheerleadered “W’s” fake
reasons for doing Iraq?
Presenting a bogus study as evidence is not only
disingenuous, but insulting to Truthdig readers. You
would fit in nicely writing propaganda for the MILITARY
INDUSTRIAL CONSPIRACY.

So what was the total killed in the entire war again? Beginning with the infamous bomb shelter/milk factory episode, and counting all the hospitals and schools? Double that with each victim having at least two people who loved them dearly, making how many still suffering the loss? The on top of that, those who got sick and died died as a result of lingering illnesses and wounds that didn’t get proper care because of the war, and that’s how many more? Gettin’ up there, folks, like a major tragedy, mostly avoidable and pointless. And afthanistan so far? And now for Yemen, comin’ up?

“Frankly the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis is a number that does not concern me.”
This quote comes from my most favorite Hebrew Mad. Albright…..
Lots of people might think of her as an evil bitch (maybe even more evil than Hillary) but not me..
She’s so great and wears those really fun broaches that make her seem so motherly….
And according to the Geneva Convention poor swarthy innocent people who happen to get wasted in a war waged by Uncle Sam just don’t count….
Happy New Year people of Iraq…FYI—we ain’t ever leaving….
