An estimated 655,000 Iraqis have died since 2003 who might still be alive but for the US-led invasion, according to a survey by a US university.
The research compares mortality rates before and after the invasion from 47 randomly chosen areas in Iraq.

Is ok people the argument between Saddam killings and the mass killing after the liberation is justified because now is not Saddam doing the killing anymore . . .
Is the liberation the one killing now and that is justified . . .
Unbelivable.

liberation can be so bloody but is worth it, right.
I bet that way of thinking make the happy war people and the bush administration sleep better at night . . .
A Pentagon official who confirmed the findings said that all the weapons were pre-1991 vintage munitions "in such a degraded state they couldn't be used for what they are designed for."
The Bush administration cited evidence that Saddam Hussein's government was manufacturing weapons of mass destruction as the main justification for the invasion. No such weapons or factories were found.

Saddam agree in 2002 to have more inspections . . .but the UN inspector found none . . . US didn't believe this . . .
UNMOVIC and IAEA inspectors had stated during briefings to the Security Council on January 27 (2003) and February 14 (2003) that Iraq was gradually increasing its cooperation with the United Nations. Yet, both deemed the cooperation insufficient.

Here is another link with pictures of what Saddam did to the Kurds who are now living in relative peace in northern Iraq, and have been thanking the coalition for getting rid of Saddam, which of course you won't hear on the news.
Warning, very graphic pictures!!!

Asked just how dangerous the weapons are, Hoekstra said: "One or two of these shells, the materials inside of these, transferred outside of the country, can be very, very deadly."
"These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.
