IRAQ: Death in Fallujah rising, doctors say
04 Jan 2005 14:56:16 GMT

Source: Integrated Regional Information Networks

FALLUJAH, 4 January (IRIN) - "It was really distressing picking up dead bodies from destroyed homes, especially children. It is the most depressing situation I have ever been in since the war started," Dr Rafa'ah al-Iyssaue, director of the main hospital in Fallujah city, some 60 km west of Baghdad, told IRIN.

According to al-Iyssaue, the hospital emergency team has recovered more than 700 bodies from rubble where houses and shops once stood, adding that more than 550 were women and children. He said a very small number of men were found in these places and most were elderly.

1. I wonder what the Iraqi death toll is.
I know Lancet estimated 100,000, but that was a while back.

3. I think 100,000 is not far off...
But who knows..."We don't do body counts" Tommy Fuckhead Franks.

This just makes me sick.

2. Our tactics of Hiroshima & Nagasaki
repeated on a small scale time and time again on a civilian population who was never a threat to us.

5. How is this different from the Mi Lai massacre?
Other than being on a much larger scale?

And Colin Powell said the Muslim world has us all wrong? That, with the tsunami aid, they'll get to see American values in action???? Haven't they seen ENOUGH, Colin?????:grr:

6. I do not think they will forget in Iraq.
It just seems to be another city we bombed off the map to us.

7. Not only Iraq will never forget. And if I can help it NOBODY
will ever forget. I have already planned on plastering all four sides of my car with it: "Remember Fallujah!" I'll do it over the weekend.

Remember Fallujah!

8. Hence, I object to the terms "pacification" and "collateral damage"!!!!
Death sentences without due process rendered against innocents.

9. Oh, those dreadful terrorist infants, ...
and those Baath-party-wannabe toddlers.

New Bushista motto: "brave baby killing for democracy"?
