the Lancet published that over 100,000 civilians died in Fallujuh, the
soldiers went house to house in city and threw a grenade in the house indiscriminately before they entered... Insurgents or not..

that is in addition to the shooting of women and children in the rivers trying to escape the carnage... even the dogs in Fallujuh are dead and dying of lack of water.. apparently they are shooting anyone on the streets.. even civilians ..

We are the Pariah of the world now.. we are going to be boycotted Righteously.. to get us to Fucking STOP.

We will have to start public demonstrations to get 'any' media coverage.. other than the party line propaganda

of the invasion (maybe specifically civilians.... you can find the report easily with Google).

The report was published before the Fallujah operation.

2. I believe that was 100,000 deaths in Iraq since the American
invasion, not in the Fellujah operation alone.

Have you got a link to this story?

3. note this word "civilians"
how many iraqi "people" do you think have been slaughtered.

remember in the opening part of the invasion they were targeting troops.
how about all of the "insurgents" i suppose they are not included.

do you think we have killed more fighters than civilians? so how about an estimate of perhaps 200,000 to a Quarter of a Million DEAD IRAQIS.

All because Saddam Hussein was a BAD MAN or maybe bacause George Bushs' oil somehow got under their sand.

Boggles the mind.

5. You need to add the 500,000 + that we killed in GW1
they are still somewhat pissed off about that.
