So American troops go storming into Iraq destroying as much of their infrastructure as they can

[madokie]

then our government hires American company's to rebuild the things destroyed, not Iraqi themselves doing the work but foreigners brought in. This picture is so wrong on all fronts, why are Americans not in the streets with pitchforks and torches, instead putting up with these atrocities, Oh yeah, 'bout forgot, no press reporting about it is probably why. It is wrong for American Soldiers to be killing the Iraqi citizens no matter the cause now, its criminal. The truth is out and the truth is this is an illegal war brought to us by big corporations who are profiting from this.

1. As a DUer I can only reply with a

Well Duhhhh....

[bdamomma]

2. yes, and its being done in our name.

we caused a humanitarian crisis out in Middle East. They are Iraqi refugees flooding neighboring countries, this has got to stop.

4. You forgot the part about using the Iraqis own money from their oil we are stealing...

...to pay for this huge scam.

And then when the Iraqis resist getting screwed and tattooed they get labeled as terrorists.

Mind boggling.

6. Well, yes. It's a war to make Halliburton (Read: Cheney) staggeringly wealthy, from contracts to

outright theft of our Treasury.

7. I always wondered...........

I always wondered about the 150,000 contractor-mercenaries the USA currently has employed over in Iraq. Their stats and war crimes are "off the books", so to speak, but their 500 plus dead is a pretty significant number of American dead that is not on American MSM radar.

And their heap o' war crimes they've been inflicting on Iraqi citizens is extremely off the radar.

And the most significant off the radar info is the estimated up to 1,000,000 dead Iraqi "collateral damage".

IF the average American could think of these dead as actual human beings instead of sub human sand niggers, perhaps American outrage about this could end the war quicker - like 3 years ago, perhaps?

8. Could you show me

where you get 1 million dead Iraqis?

9. for one

Good question.

Seems like 100,000 to 1,000,000 is "accurate". It is now up to DU to corroborate or refute this info!
