Baghdad on alert awaiting Saddam verdict

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

No one has killed even close to 650,000 Iraqis, except maybe Saddam in the last near 30 years. That report has been proven to be nothing but crap.

There was no actual count of bodies, graves, or death certificates.

They did a POLL, and they asked "has anyone you know or are related to been killed since the coalition invaded in 2003?"

This came up years ago.  There was a group of forensic scientists working on it, but I haven't heard much about it since.  The articles seem to always talk about the same 3,000 shia that where killed after the uprising after the Gulf War.

What Boroda was talking about is the study from last month, claiming that 650,000 Iraqi civilians have died since the 2003 coalition invasion, that is completely unsubstantiated. That's what I was referring to in my reply.

Thanks for the clarification.

I bet if they did a poll in NJ and NY of if they anyone that died on 9/11 I bets they would end up with  ALOT more then 2,000 too

::edit: no Im not trying to make a connection betwen the two.
Other then to say for example
if they polled all the membrs of one family that lost a member of their family  and asked if anyone they knew died oon 9/11 and there were 10 people on that family the end number for that one person would be 10.
Same person being reported  by all 10 members

You see, now I am watching Western news programms, so I can only rely on this numbers

5% of the population is a huge number, it's an irrecoverable demographic damage.

OTOH - if there is no other source - then all we can do is to stick to what we have.

No.  Just because I'm the only one to pull some random number out of my bellybutton doesn't mean you have to give credibility to me.

Hey, I saw it on TV, it has to be true! Not on Russian "government-controlled commie propaganda" channel, but on a glorious Western Free Media!

Look, BBC already admitted that 650 000 were killed in Iraq, one of the "coalition" countries, how dare you to argue with this numbers?!

In 1999 NATO gangsters killed several thousand Serbs because Serbs killed 200 Albanians (and Albanians killed 200 Serbs).  

Like Al Capone gangsters? Did they have cool hats on?

No, actually it wasn't.
