24,000 posted by Wally 8:30 AM On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists (none of Iraqi descent) killed nearly 3,000 people. In response, we shocked and awed Afghanistan (where al Qaeda was based) and Iraq (for still unexplained reasons. The results? Osama bin Laden still hasn't been caught. We have found exactly zero WMD's or WMD making programs in Iraq. And we've won the hearts and minds of millions of Iraqi's by killing their friends and family members and destroying their homes and cities. 24,000 civilian Iraqi deaths in 2007 US-LED coalition and paramilitary forces in Iraq were responsible for some 24,000 violent civilian deaths in 2007, according to an independent group monitoring casualties in the war-ravaged country. The Iraq Body Count (IBC) whose figures are tallied from media reports, morgue and hospital data, non-governmental and other sources, said in a report that there were between 22,586 and 24,159 violent civilian deaths in Iraq during the past year. "For some 24,000 Iraqi civilians, and their families and friends, the year was one of devastating and irreparable tragedy," the IBC said. Somebody remind me again, who are the real terrorists? 24,000 Permalink :: 3 comments :: Post a Comment




	We are, Wally. We are. What would we do if another country invaded us? We'd fight. Except,of course,those adaptable businessmen(Republican,ultra patriots) who could turn a profit by committing treason. They,of course,would side with the invaders. posted by md at 10:31 AM


	This is so freakin' unacceptable. And those on the right will try to disavow these numbers by saying they are unofficial. But there are no official numbers! That's the problem! I was arguing with a right winger over this the other day. He was adamant that those killed in Iraq were mostly insurgents, not civilians, and it was the insurgents doing the killing, not us. Wrong, buster! posted by Jenna at 11:07 AM
