Wrongful death - Iraq

Aug 2007
No one knows how many civilians have been killed accidentally by US troops in Iraq. This moving report examines several 'wrongful deaths' in Kirkuk.
Karzan's 75 year old uncle was shot 86 times after he failed to slow down at a checkpoint. Local police chief, General Qadir, believe soldiers often panic and shoot to kill, instead of; "firing more warning shots". Relatives left behind feel particular bitter that no-one is held accountable for these mistaken deaths. "The Americans have done nothing and my family's lives have been ruined", laments one woman.

The US Nazi Style Aggression is constantly inventing new ways to play Blame-The-Victims

IRAQIS have the RIGHT to resist "colonial domination and alien occupation and racist regimes in the exercise of their right to self-determination as enshrined in the Charter of the UN" and / OR to resist illegal practices of the occupier according to Article 1(4) of Protocol 1 of the Geneva Conventions

Their struggle is considered legitimate and in full accord with the principles of international law

This is what happens when you take a youg kid straight out of school, brainwash him till he thinks he's Rambo, then give them a gun a send him off to a foreign country to fight in an unjust war .

You basically end up with an army of trigge happy kids who like to show how hardcore they are, which suits the corrupt fuckers that send them there , because they dont give a fuck who dies , just as long as THEY get what they want .

[insulatedmemory]

@totoynani143 alright you wind bag. i have worked in a factory, i have served in the military and been to Iraq. I am going to school. I agree all things we experience influence us. I have been to Iraq and i know for a fact we are doing bad fucking things, not all the times but a mass murderer who gives money to charity is still a murderer. I really want to swear but i cant because I am trying to make a coherent point. George W. Bush should be charged with war crimes.

WHY DO IRAQI PEOPLE STINK? IS IT AGAINST RELIGION TO WEAR DEODORANT?

[armydaddy]

Yeah Well I saw alot of wrongful deaths in Iraq. IED's going off killing innocent kids and women on the road, Machine gunning over a soccer feild filled with kids killed 4 of them while they were shooting at Americans Americans never fired a shot. Americans did not set off IED's, Americans did not blow up the Mosque in Tikrit, only other Muslims.

May I ask a question? Why are there thousands of "documentaries" on Youtube telling us how US servicemen shoot civilians and that that makes them evil, but there's maybe like ten similair documentaries telling us how AQI, the Talibans, etc kill civilians intentionally. They kill many more civilians than the Americans, yet the Americans are always blamed when they kill civilians by mistake. At least they offer compensation. You ever heard of al Qaida handing out thousands of dollars for that? No.

SHAME ON AMERICA, the make a friend and then kill his father. Amercia is going to HELL, it's an EVIL country and they'll continue to kill innocent people even in their own country. I believe my country "USA" are the real terroriest of the WORLD and been hiding it all these years. I believe USA never had enemies until ZIONIST came here and got our country involve in wars. They brain Americans to believe "they are the chosen people" but GOD says Thy shell NOT kill" and they kill all the time
