It’s finally happened, America hit the big 3000 last month - the bunker is betting it has high propaganda value for both the Democrats and the Republicans.
The number that won’t get much play is the number of Iraqis that have been killed in the war.
We know that it’s convenient for people to forget things that may distress them, so we’re gonna help. Remember October 2006?
The United Nations said Wednesday that 3,709 Iraqi civilians were killed in October, the highest monthly toll since the March 2003 U.S. invasion and another sign of the severity of Iraq’s sectarian bloodbath.
It took America how many years to come close to what Iraq suffered in one month last year? The loses absolutely pale by comparison don’t they?
3000 killed since the start of the war they started? How about the 50,000+ Iraqis killed since the start of the war America instigated? How many politicians are talking about the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women, and children, who have been killed?
How many politicians are talking about the hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, and children, who have been wounded, maimed, crippled, orphaned, widowed, or displaced?
In the grand scheme of things 3000 people since Bush launched his invasion and occupation of Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that they said they not only knew existed but knew where they were, yet somehow were never found, is actually pretty lite isn’t it?
Do some math, 3000/52000=X; X equals the number of Americans killed for every Iraqi that has died - it’s a damned small number.
Now lets be honest here Stageleft, all these people aren’t the fault of the USA, it’s the Terrorist, the Iraqi people and Saddam who are responcible.
Ok, so what, the reason for justifying the invassion were completely bs, BuSh and Rummy complete f***ed the dawg when it came to securing all those supposed WMD sites and massive Weapons Depots sites. Ok, so Bush and Rummy didn’t put enough boots on the ground, so they didn’t disarm the Iraqi populous and left every home with a AK-47, so Buch and Rummy left the borders wide open, so what that the plan was to attrack internation terrorist to Iraq so we could fight them there and not here. So what if Bush dismantalled the Iraq millitary. All these failures hardly make Bush and the American Government “responcible” for Iraq. After all, you can’t blame a person for the situation they created when it’s other people who are forced to lived in that situation and who have compleely failed to fix the problem that Bush created.
Come on, be fair and honest about, Bush and the Americans are the real victoms here, not those useless Iraqi people who failed.
