Oh, really? The US military has killed 100,000 civilian in Iraq? Got a source to back that figure up?

I'm glad these war criminals are being prosecuted! The freedom fighters have rights, and what the SEALs did was not justified. Capturing a person who was trying to defend his country is WRONG and ILLEGAL! Not to mention busting his lip is even worse, probably far worse then beheadings because it leaves wounds that can be painful.

I do wonder just how much support there would be for the War on Terror if instead of aircraft nose taken video clips of bombs detonating in grainy black and white footage on top of buildings it was full color and full sound video of what happens inside those buildings to women, children, babies and the elderly when those bombs hit.
....
I wonder how much support for the War on Terror there would be if they showed the caskets of U.S. Service members coming home and videos of the hospital wards where not just Americans missing limbs and tragically disfigured recuperate but the hospitals were Iraqi and Afghani children, babies, women and the elderly are missing limbs and tragically disfigured try to recuperate.
....
The funny thing is that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Ben Franklin et al were considered terrorists in their day too. By today’s standards they would be labeled as right wing extremists arrested without charge and held in secret prisons and subjected to secret courts and water boarding!
It really is a crime what the Military Industrial Complex is doing to the world and this nation. As frustrating as some of the brainwashed types are to try to converse with its pretty clear they are all victims too of something as evil and sinister as the day is long.

Whenever one side of a war fights back, more people will inevitably be killed as a result of such.
Also, when you state that the deaths are a "Direct result of our invasion", you are factually incorrect. They are a secondary result of our Invasion, because without the imported Chechens, Iranians, and Jihadis from the world over, there never would have been even a fraction of those numbers killed in OIF.

And you're right -- the numbers ARE inaccurate. Because our military doesn't report all the people they kill when they bomb residential areas, etc. Like the general quoted on that page says -- they don't do body counts.

And you get all fired up over civilian deaths. That's fair, but realize that the huge majority of the civilians being killed over there are by insurgents, not US forces.

And the US wouldn't be having to strike in residential areas if insurgents weren't using civilians as human shields.

Maybe you would actually understand the WOT if you saw firsthand the towers collapse, or you visited the Pentagon and saw the damage up close and personal (As I did).
