Wheelchairs Distribution in Iraq for disabled children

ROC Wheels.org and Wheelchairs for Iraqi Kids.com join the US Army in winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people by distributing just under 650 high quality pediatric wheelchairs ($3500 retail for only $350/ea) to poor and needy children throughout Iraq. To donate to this ongoing effort, go to my website: www.WheelchairsForIraqiKids.com or my Facebook Cause page: http://apps.facebook.com/causes/196199/18186576?m=6d54c0aa

Wounder were they got the weapons to do that kind of damage. Did our bombs do that?

[BradBlauser]

About 95% of the kids who receive wheelchairs have birth defects (Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, etc) or disability from childhood illnesses due to poor quality or no immunizations (Polio, etc).

The other 5% do have war wounds, most injured in explosions from suicide bombers. The rest, unfortunately, from coalition fire.

Can't say there arent good americanz out there..and they definitly should be thanked...but then again why start a war..cause all these kids to go paralized..and donate wheelchairs to them? we have a saying in arabic that says " they murder a person..and go to their funeral." and that definitly goes for the american "government" not ppl. thanks and hope to see more of these videos

[BradBlauser]

Thanks for the nice words, arabgirl, but the 44 kids I placed into wheelchairs in this video all were born with crippling birth defects and diseases. Also, do you realize that terrorists have hurt Muslim children in suicide bombings and roadside IEDs?

[BradBlauser]

@shadowofears What do your unsubstantiated allegations have to do with my wheelchairs for Iraqi kids video?

[shadowofears]

@ClarksonSings Researcher Richard Garfield estimated that "a minimum of 100,000 and a more likely estimate of 227,000 excess deaths among young children from August 1991 through March 1998" from all causes including sanctions.Other estimates have ranged as low as 170,000 children.If these were American kids u would cryed out but sadly u r a cold blooded American

[shadowofears]

@ClarksonSings he Iraq sanctions were a near-total financial and trade embargo imposed by the United Nations Security Council on the nation of Iraq.Estimates of excess civilian deaths during of the sanctions vary widely, but range from 100,000 to over 1.5 million.

[shadowofears]

@ClarksonSings More Childrens Died from Gulf War Sanctions and Recent Iraq war than by bombing in Hiroshima.Most importantly directly or indirectly Americans are responsible for deaths of so many iraqi kids for a war that was fought for fucking oil

[ClarksonSings]

@Speslad What does your comment have to do with my video and work to help Iraqi kids who can't walk? Like I said above, none of the kids in the video have war injuries - they were born this way. If you don't believe me, feel free to come to the next wheelchair giveaway and see for yourself.

[ClarksonSings]

@shadowofears If you'll notice in the video - none of the children have war injuries. They're all birth defects. Only around 5% of kids who show up to my wheelchair distributions have disability injuries - most all from suicide bombers in marketplaces (Sunni vs Shia) and roadside bombs set by extremists trying to kill Americans but hurting Iraqis instead.

[shadowofears]

First disable them then give them Wheelchairs Great
