I am trying to share the truth with my fellow Americans on what our soldirs facing and for what, did you that 300 soldiers were killed on that base

[jetfueljp4]

I saw some other propaganda bullshit on youtube that tried to say these were tactical nukes lol what a load of shit!

[thegoddamnyeti]

There's alot of speculating here, lemme clear the air. I was sitting 500 meters from these explosions, a member of the 101st abd 506th regement 2nd batallion, It was our ammo holding area that we3nt up, the big booms here are entire conexes of c-4 going up, not one U.S. causality here, Take it from someone who sat throught 12 hours of these explosions.

It's funny reading all these comments. This was a fun night. The guy saying "impact in our area" was a douche. And they were not mortars that started it.

I am Iraqi and I remember the day well we could not sleep from the intensity of the blasts

[IraqiCoaseje]

those are Jaish al Mahdi , Mahdi's Army

this is a small response for our iraqi soldiers whom killed because bush's lie about our nuclear weapon

I'm an American, and heard 3000 were at this base and not one was spared. All 3000 men and women were killed, hence the major cover up. I remember seeing congress on tv on the night or two of that explosion knowing something amiss had happened, something big, a major loss. I am a reader of expressions, and could see they were hiding something. 3000 is a big loss, and not one to tell the U.S. people about. Tons of transport planes went in and out for weeks thereafter to clean up the bodies.
