'Dedicated to the civilians of Iraq that suffered this terrible war who are caught between the US troops and the insurgents. Not many people know that over 100,000 Iraqis have died as a result of the War in Iraq, and that's a conservative estimate, most of them were children. Here's a video to show their pain. It's another video I made.

Keep vulgar and hateful comments to yourself. This is tribute to the fallen Iraqis, not a political statement or debate about whether or not we should be there.'

Stop This GodDamn War!!! :cry:

In October, the Lancet medical journal published the epidemiological study that estimated that since the March 2003 invasion 655,000 Iraqis had died who would otherwise have lived, a number far in excess of any official estimates. The methodology behind the report, which was overseen by Johns Hopkins University in the US, was criticised by the American and British governments and questioned by other medical researchers.

Dr Lafta had arranged to present the findings of the report at the University of Washington last year but was denied a US visa. Last Friday he was due to present a paper at Simon Fraser University, in British Columbia, Canada. This paper looked at the rise in cancer levels among Iraqi children since the invasion.

He was issued a Canadian visa, but British consular officials in Jordan refused last week to grant him a transit visa to pass through London, said Tim Takaro, an associate professor at the university. Dr Takaro said: "Why would an academic physician not be granted a visa? I've grown accustomed to this from the US, but I was very disappointed the British would not even give him a transit visa to pass through an airport."

would not shut the hell up about the methodology used to compile them...but being hate radio they know perfectly well the numbers were far less skewed than the ones they use daily & routinely...

it is all a PR husker's game the way they play it, that much is painfully clear as well as are these atrocities that are being perpetrated in our names, though for the benefit of Halliburton, EXXON/Mobil, and the bfee,

their lie is unraveled

to lie about it. And that 665,000 number? That was 'accomplished' by last October. I have no clue how much higher that number has gone.:-(

would be even further out of the park, yay! for medical advancements but still very sad indeed :(
