Iraqi casualties

:(

Not to mention all the civilian men women and children casualties. Its estimated between 11252 and 13213. For every one terrorist, several hundred lives have to be killed. That is the true cost of war.

I thought the idea of this thread was to post links about anything and have someone "take a look"

mrcofee,

 I wonder how many of those civilians in those pictures were killed/wounded by the fedayeen?  or by the terrorist?  or used as human shields by the fedayeen?

Children who die in war deserve to be heard. So I thought I would post this for them in case some people werent aware that this sort of stuff can happen.

I love how that person solicits more photos.... just send in any ole photo, and he will guarantee it is because of anglo-american aggression.  What a fraud... he is lucky to have the freedom to post bullchit like that.  My bet is the majority of those photos are caused by insurgent actions, although I will agree that the coalition is surely repsonsible for some unintended deaths as well.

those figures are very innaccurte LizKing.  The deaths of Japanese civilians alone are way off, as are US caualties.

the Japanese lost well over a million citizens during the war.  As I can recall, US total casualties are around 350k.  I will have to dig to find the actual list...

Bodhi, it doesn't matter, what matters is the scale.

The aggressor determines what the conditions for war will be and how it will be fought.  We were attacked.  We have not responded in kind.  

The WTC was not a legitimate military objective furthermore these people hide behind women and children.

They want those photo opportunity casualties.  

Did you lefties learn nothing from Vietnam?  We lost that war at home not in Vietnam.  

Walter Crankcase, the entire liberal news machine and the rest of you liberal ultra melons were the cause of that defeat.  

Don't think for a minute that those muslim extremist aren't currently playing you like a cheap violin.  

How ever many of their dead, man, woman or child it takes to subdue and subjugate them is fine with me.  

How ever many of our young people it takes is a price we must be willing to pay.  

Even if it's one of my own, even if it's me.  Think past the immediate and look at what might be if we don't take the fight to them.

"Death loomed everywhere in Iraq under the Ba'ath Party regime, which killed some 2 million people, both old and young. Its agents removed the mentally ill and the disabled from the care of their families and shot them dead. Saddam's Republican Guards raped women and children and tortured those suspected of being disloyal to Saddam."
