"We've tried diplomacy. We're trying it one more time," Bush said.

Gunboat diplomacy at best... how the hell did they get away with this?? One can only wonder, what else would they try to get away with? Quite literally anything, including outing Valerie Plame.

Oh, and nevermind the civilian count... we don't do body counts.

These attacks were barely covered in the press and Von Sponeck says that as far back as 1999, the United States and Britain pressured the UN not to call attention to them. During his time in Iraq, Von Sponeck began documenting each of the airstrikes, showing "regular attacks on civilian installations including food warehouses, residences, mosques, roads and people." These reports, he said, were "welcomed" by Secretary General Kofi Annan, but "the US and UK governments strongly objected to this reporting." Von Sponeck says that he was pressured to end the practice, with a senior British diplomat telling him, "All you are doing is putting a UN stamp of approval on Iraqi propaganda." But Von Sponeck continued documenting the damage and visited many attack sites. In 1999 alone, he confirmed the death of 144 civilians and more than 400 wounded by the US/UK bombings.

1. I didn't realize that word was in * vocabulary. Is there an actual

film of him saying it?

As for the rest of it, it's amazing what the government gets away with because no one knows about it. They lie and very few people can disprove it. And if someone goes to far with truth, bad things happen.
