Seriously?!?! What gives, this guy didn't get a WARN -- check the logs, Rilence is exactly right -- there's been numerous complaints reported against him and then he comes back out of the woodwork -- pretending like he didn't say it, and it was exactly how Rilence worded it, unreal, and furthermore unreal point, you got the nerve to come back here and say you're not a monster.

I'll try to get this whole forum against you, racist, for that insane comment.

Dude, you're really making a mistake not to go back to that log, someone mentioned it's possible to do -- and this is it??!! A warning on the page?! He made a comment that was beyond OFFENSIVE, threatening, rude, insulting and derogatory to A WHOLE RACE of people. Come on, what's right is right.

Who else can I complain to if you're not going to do anything about it besides a post on the page?!?

Yep Grover, right on the money...As we agreed a page ago, any number of deaths during a conflict like this, regardless of who they are or what side they are on is so so sad...and wrong...

Peace

Why doubt it? Because the evidence just doesn't support such a ridiculous claim for one. When most estimates of the numbers of Iraqi casualties are a tenth of the 600K+, one has to wonder what agenda is being pushed(I know- the low #s are Bush propaganda right, and every journalist, eyewitness, etc... have all been paid off to hide the true numbers. We've even managed to pay of Al Jazeera, since they're not even reporting numbers like that). Secondly, to have body counts like that, you're talking levels you might see in a high intensity conflict(i.e. North Korea invasion, Russia invading NATO countries, etc..). Even the insurgents/terrorists aren't killing in those kinds of numbers. It also shows a fundemental lack of understanding of what the situation on the ground is actually like. There weren't even 10,000 KIA in high intensity assaults in retaking Fallujah, and other cities, and there haven't been any engagements like that in several years. Do you think that US forces just roll from town to town, and start mowing people down, and then drive on to the next town. Do you see how it might be problematic to hide the evidence of this type of thing, as there are all too many folks that would love to exploit info like this, if it actually existed. It would be even more difficult to cover up #s like these if the casualities were rank and file Iraqis minding their own business. The fact of the matter is I've been to Iraq, and the stories that the MSM report are more negative than what is happening, not the other way around. There aren't bombs going off on every street corner, and firefights happening 24/7, in every neighborhood. Now that Al Anbar province has quieted down from being the worst spot in Iraq, 15 of the 18 provinces are for the most part stable. I guarantee that of the 3 that aren't stable, there aren't 10k/month KIA. That's unadulterated BS.

You didn't see his post before the edit: "100 (or was it 10 million Rilence?) million Iraqis is better then 1 dead American." Rilence, PureET, (maybe) Copern and I were witness to his quote before I threatened to rat him out, then, he edited the quote. . . . . .

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

Edit: 75,288 – 82,027 dead.
Here are some numbers from THIS SITE. All in the name of "terror" -- innocent people probably. I know, here comes the neo-cons right wing response. "80k dead is worth my freedom."

Well, how about 1 soldier is too many, 1 civilian is too many. Armchair QBs to a "televised set war" w/ real pain, trauma and bloodshed over there, so spare me your two cents about if there's that many dead or not.

I agree, this is an article written to further an agenda. It is not based in fact but mere speculation.

I am personal sick and tired of people trying to portray are troops as barbarians spraying innocent villages with indiscriminate machine gun fire, killings babies and cutting off heads.

He posted "10 million dead Iraqis would not be the same as on dead american or thereabouts", Anhinga...

Anyone who does not find this statement disgusting, nauseating, immoral and just plain against everything this site stands for, doesn't deserve to post here, IMO...

Its really simple folks...ALL human life is equal, there is no two ways about this....

This thread was very much open to debate before a certain member posted this stuff, and one moderator posted something which seemed to say it was ok for this member to post this stuff...

Sure, lets debate the numbers...so they're inaccurate ? The loss of life is shocking regardless of the true numbers...

This is being overlooked IMO, and it seems Grover is one of the few who has a real handle on this...

John, your input is welcome and appreciated as it always is...

From a CT point of view for most people (for me, its close to fact)...The information you have presented is articulate, based in fact and unbiased, as it often is...

Thank YOU for your post, John

Peace

Alright, so
THIS didn't happen?

How about THIS ONE? ( site has total cost to date -- $245 BILLION ! )

...and how about THIS one of DU (depleted URANIUM) victims? Which isn't only ruining these people currently, it's in their water, food chain and obviously from this photo - genetics.

Any armchair quarterback response to these?!?

Agenda?

Oh and a little info on Thierry Meyssan

WIKI

While people are dying in Iraq, and admittedly all are not combatants or insurgents, this 10,000 a month figure is suspect to say the least.

You can believe the figures or you can disbelieve the figures

As for me

I am taking this article with a grain of salt.
