"In the week in which General Patraeus reports back to US Congress on the impact the recent 'surge' is having in Iraq, a new poll reveals that more than 1,000,000 Iraqi citizens have been murdered since the invasion took place in 2003." Here is an article in the UK Guardian linking the findings of The ORB, Lancet and other scientific Iraq death toll estimates: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/sep/16/iraq.iraqtimeline

michaelbme made the following comment which I deleted in error:

"I agree. The USA always puts a smiley face on the shit that it does, whether it is in Vietnam, Iraq, or the acquisition of lands that belonged to Americans. We are going to pay the price for all of this shit sooner or later."

That's indeed the nature, the scale of the Iraq devastation Mopsius. Destruction of a sovereign country and the genocide of a Semitic people. A strategy for military domination, plunder and holocaust which very likely is yet to fully unfold and which appears to encompass not only the Persians in Iran but eventually the entire ME in some form or another.

The Warsaw Ghetto that is Gaza as the model for the US and Israel in the Middle Eat?

It seems to be the plan but it will not work.

However bad it is, one is finally seeing the beginning of the end for Israel and the US.

Well you seem to get my analysis of the Gaza incursion issue Mospius-lol did I even post it here?- but seriously I am confident in it. You and I travel light n'est pas? We could be any where, but wherever you are-"Z novym rokom!"

The truth is widely available, but not many people give a damn about it, quite frankly. This video has only 398 views, but has been up for a little over two years.

Hey queny2, I want to make a quick correction to that comment. Where it says "acquisition of lands that belonged to Americans" I meant to say "acquisition of lands that belonged to Native Americans".

[michaelbme]

@queny2

When I made this comment, I meant to say Native Americans, as in:

"or the acquisition of lands that belonged to Native Americans"

@queny2

I didn't know you accidentally deleted my comment! Thank you for posting it back up. :)

I'm American, and to other Americans that support the war, you are 300 times more likely to die from a heart disease rather than a terrorists attack. So should we be funding health care or war?

pretty ironic how they invade iraq allegedly for them breaking international rules, in a pre-emtpive un-sanctioned war of aggression, therewith breaking international law themselves.

pretty ironic how they force democracy on a country no american even knew before the war where it was, while they themselves have a mere farce of a democracy.

but i wonder how many iraqis would really want to hypothetically go back to the old state of sadam's rule.
