1. It's interesting timing when you think about it.
Didn't they just form a war crimes commission? I guess it's hard to prosecute somebody when your count is higher than thiers.

2. I just read this
here, too:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20031210/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_civilian_casualties_3

I'm appalled. This is just a horrible act of withholding information which can be used in anti-war debate.

4. Hard to count when you run over them with tanks.
The US has gone nuts over in Iraq. To copy that other peaceloving Middle east country is beyond anything I have heard.

3. AntiWar people - you can USE this!
The glass is half full! All you have to do is keep reminding the warmongers that the Iraqi authorities (puppets of the US) are censoring information about civilian dead. Censoring information is what losers and criminals do. Remind them of that, incessantly.

5. You know why? I'll tell you.
They are going to start slaughtering them wholesale after the new year when they send in the Seals and Delta and more Marines. Sure, they say they are going to be chasing bad guys, but it will be real reckless, so therefore, many civilian casualties.

It's gonna get real ugly starting in January.

6. if they're not Amurkins, they don't count, don'tcha know . . .
don't these people ever look beyond their own narrow self-interests to consider what's right and what's wrong? . . . do they have any concept of what's right and what's wrong? . . . good, God-fearing Christians that they are, you'd think they'd give a little thought to what's right and what's wrong . . . if they did, they'd know that this is not only wrong, it's arrogant and demeaning and ugly and just plain disgusting . . . what's wrong with these people???? . . .
