US Military Report: The High Death Rates exposed by Brian Harring

[BrklynLiberal]

The Bush Butcher’s Bill: Officially, 40 US Military Deaths in Iraq from 1 through 11 May, 2005 – Official Total of 1,791 US Dead to date (and rising)
U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to German hospitals have not previously been counted. They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005. The ongoing, underreporting of the dead in Iraq, is not accurate. The DoD is deliberately reducing the figures. A review of many foreign news sites show that actual deaths are far higher than the newly reduced ones. Iraqi civilian casualties are never reported but International Red Cross, Red Crescent and UN figures indicate that as of 1 January 2005, the numbers are just under 100,000.

Note: There is excellent reason to believe that the Department of Defense is deliberately not reporting a significant number of the dead in Iraq. We have received copies of manifests from the MATS that show far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than are reported officially. The educated rumor is that the actual death toll is in excess of 7,000. Given the officially acknowledged number of over 15,000 seriously wounded, this elevated death toll is far more realistic than the current 1,400+ now being officially published. When our research is complete, and watertight, we will publish the results along with the sources In addition to the evident falsification of the death rolls, at least 5,500 American military personnel have deserted, most in Ireland but more have escaped to Canada and other European countries, none of whom are inclined to cooperate with vengeful American authorities. (See TBR News of 18 February for full coverage on the mass desertions) This means that of the 158,000 U.S. military shipped to Iraq, 26,000 either deserted, were killed or seriously wounded. The DoD lists currently being very quietly circulated indicate almost 9,000 dead, over 16,000 seriously wounded* (See note below. This figure is now over 24,000 Ed) and a large number of suicides, forced hospitalization for ongoing drug usage and sales, murder of Iraqi civilians and fellow soldiers , rapes, courts martial and so on –

Because I cannot publish the DoD pdf file in this country (no one has said anything about it being published outside the country) I am working up a specific overview for posting and my lawyer has made the following suggestion for me. I think it’s good and it certainly is legal.

I have a copy of the official DoD casualty list. I am alphabetizing it with the reported date of death following. TBR will post this list in sections and when this is circulated widely by veteran groups and other concerned sites, if people who do not see their loved one’s names, are requested to inform their Congressman, their local paper, us and other concerned people as soon as possible.

1. TBR -- ARGH!!

Once again, we need a legitimate source/evidence for this rumor before we repeat it.

TBR is a fringe site.

5. Mike Malloy quoted it last night so I thought it was reliable.

:shrug: :shrug:

6. Well, Malloy needs to fire the intern who handed him this story

Going on the air and citing a Neo-Nazi website is simply unacceptable.

[Igel]

2. What, this info is surfacing twice a day now, or is

it more often.

Crops up more quickly than it can be debunked.

Lynn!

3. These garbage claims...

have been circulating for quite a while, now. Yet, somehow the promised evidence that they always say is forthcoming never materializes.

Remember, this is completely unsubstantiated, and the mysterious support has NEVER been provided.

(edit: typo)

4. While there are more than 1700

the number they state are widely off the mark.

[teryang]

7. There is really no question that the numbers are manipulated

Early on in the war, the numbers of wounded reported at military hospitals contradicted official tallies. There has always been some question about the reporting of deaths among the wounded outside Iraq.

If this report were true it would be a bombshell politically. However even the lower casualty rates reported are having a devastating political effect. The baby boomlet entering draft age has no tolerance for this. Once they realize they may have to go if the "stupid war" persists, they are turned into instant democrats.
