Having devoted extensive time and effort to documenting his atrocities, we estimate that in the last twenty-five years of Ba`th Party rule the Iraqi government murdered or “disappeared” some quarter of a million Iraqis, if not more.


it's gonna take awhile...

I'm sure the US can get there if it applies itself, Haq.

i'm doubtful... we barely killed that many confederates in the civil war, and we HATE those guys.

yes, this is just a guess, but the kurd massacre that Saddam is being tried for presently charges him with slaughtering 10's of thousands of kurds alone. So, I am guessing the number of killed are not remotely comparable.


Saddam 180,000 Iraqi civilians killed during Anfal campaign.

US Coalition 45,000 Iraqi civilians killed since military invasion of Iraqi

I'm sure we'll catch up eventually.

is that number what the US has directly been responsible for, or does that also include 'insurgent' related fatalities?
b/c you know, we're not responsible for those.

have you tried saying this shit out loud before posting it? What makes us worthy of it? Because we use more of it?


i for one never said we ned to withdraw immediately. I'm not even sure I've seen anyone has said that here. But considering that we have massively fucked up every possible aspect of this war, I think the best case scenario at this rate is we get a giant smoking crater to split up Iran and Syria.

it'd be nice to pull out now, but we've already made our fucking bed and shortsheeted it too.

wait, that's 2012.


haha American jokes.

I don't get it.


it's his brother Jeb Bush, the Governor of Florida. A 'potential' candidate further down the line.

i dont know how you can miss these things, i don't watch the news or read a newspaper more than once a week


I make an effort to know as little about America as they do the rest of the world.


good to grow up ignorant.

:wanker:

if that's the case, get off our board, and stop listening to American music you clown.

Unfort, saving iraqis from Saddam was only used as a reson for this war once about 5 others had been proven to be bold faced lies.

Well, now that you mention it...

Look, the only reasons that made any sense to me to invade Iraq in the first place was to rid the world of Sadaam and take control of the oil, but nobody seemed to want to say that out loud either. If these people actually wanted to be civilized they would have ousted Saddam themselves and then let us build their oil infrastructure to a massively profitable level, then kick out our oil companies nationalize it (like the Saudis did), and drive around in Ferraris.

Not that I thought that it made much sense to invade Iraq--I just prefer to not be lied to about it.

Christ, sometimes Obner really gets me disliking Americans.

And if there's one thing the last 2 presidential terms has taught us, it's that you fuckers will take whatever you're given lying down and you'll pretend to like it, just as long as you've got your SUV parked in the driveway you just paid an immigrant worker 5 bucks to scrub.

You don't seem to have any problem with summing up Iraqis under a single bullshit stereotype.

Fuck, Radcliffe. I was gonna go get my (non-SUV) car washed tomorrow, and though I tip the guy better than a fin, I'm still gonna feel like ass.

PS I live in a townhouse, so washing your car out front gets pretty iffy.

If you're talking about me, then fuck you pal---I didnt vote for Bush either time nor do "like" having him as my president. But yeah, I do go on through life because it isnt the end of the world--George Bush is neither the first nor will he be the last douchebag that this country elects president.

And what I drive is what helps me earn the money to actually have a driveway to park it in.

As to immigration, its a situation you can't even begin to understand because you arent living in it so I'll just take your line there as a stab at "immigration humor" (who knows, maybe you cribbed Jay Leno or some other American Comedy Genius) and be done with it.
