Less than the hundreds of thousands of people who died because of this war. America has caused more innocent Iraqi deaths than Sadam has, and it's not even close.
Then why do you care so much about giving a legit reason for the killings?
Innocent people getting gunned down by a chopper for carrying a camera? No, that's not the world you or I live in. That's the world Iraqi citizens live in because of the situation our government/military created.
I wasn't comparing it to the Holocaust. I was comparing it to the millions of innocent civilians (of any race/religion) who died in Europe because Hitler turned countries into warzones.
The Jews had the land before anyone else did, but that's not the point. Palestinian terrorists pose a threat to Israel and have killed thousands of innocent Israelis with suicide bombings over time. Iraq has never been responsible for an attack in America.
The bottom line is, I'm not going to sit here like you and have a "holier than thou" at ude towards this situation. I gave reasons as to how this could have happened. You clearly took at it as me beating my chest saying "I'M AN AMERICAN, DAMMIT" which was not my intention at all. It's easy to sit here on my computer and call everyone involved a ing idiot and hate those involved. I wasn't there, I've never been to war, and I'm not going to act like I was there or that I have been in a war zone.
I feel for those families that are affected and I assure you, I hate it just as much as you do. I wish we weren't there.
can we all just agree everyone kills innocents in war?
If the Iraqis are that concerned, they should not allow the militants to dress as them and be among them.
All is fair in love and war. Cry me a river, gots. None of you have ever done anything that doesn't include a game controller.
The guy in the video had no business in the military in the first place if he didn't think he would ever see this . Free college offers get a lot of pussies like that.
Comtrails and chemtrails, black helicopters over Burnet and FEMA.
Right, cause they control what the militants can/can't do, not the other way around.
Sucks to be them. They've had only a few thousand years to get some credibility but they are barely out of the stone age. Meanwhile the US has existed only a few hundred years and we are remotely bombing the out of them from air conditioned buildings.
I just know their homes are full of shrines to dead Americans.
How do you know that?
I would have to kill you if I told you.
neat
Not really, but it was effective.
thanks for your opinion
Lolololol at the dudes 'affliction' t-shirt
thispego don't even act like you've ever done anything near war. If you ever got into a confrontation in public your ing wife would have to defend you. Pussy.
I'm married? Yall have vivid imaginations
kinetic military action is . i don't see how or why people would think otherwise.

The Barzani Clan Abductions of 1983:
Masoud Barzani led the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), an ethnic Kurdish revolutionary group fighting Baathist oppression. After Barzani cast his lot with the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq War, Hussein had some 8,000 members of Barzani's clan, including hundreds of women and children, abducted. It is assumed that most were slaughtered; thousands have been discovered in mass graves in southern Iraq.
The al-Anfal Campaign:
The worst human rights abuses of Hussein's tenure took place during the genocidal al-Anfal Campaign (1986-1989), in which Hussein's administration called for the extermination of every living thing--human or animal--in certain regions of the Kurdish north. All told, some 182,000 people--men, women, and children--were slaughtered, many through use of chemical weapons. The Halabja poison gas massacre of 1988 alone killed over 5,000 people. Hussein later blamed the attacks on the Iranians, and the Reagan administration, which supported Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War, helped promote this cover story.
The Campaign Against the Marsh Arabs:
Hussein did not limit his genocide to identifiably Kurdish groups; he also targeted the predominantly Shiite Marsh Arabs of southeastern Iraq, the direct descendants of the ancient Mesopotamians. By destroying more than 95% of the region's marshes, he effectively depleted its food supply and destroyed the entire millennia-old culture, reducing the number of Marsh Arabs from 250,000 to approximately 30,000. It is unknown how much of this population drop can be attributed to direct starvation and how much to migration, but the human cost was unquestionably high.
The Post-Uprising Massacres of 1991:
In the aftermath of Operation Desert Storm, the United States encouraged Kurds and Shiites to rebel against Hussein's regime--then withdrew and refused to support them, leaving an unknown number to be slaughtered. At one point, Hussein's regime killed as many as 2,000 suspected Kurdish rebels every day. Some two million Kurds hazarded the dangerous trek through the mountains to Iran and Turkey, hundreds of thousands dying in the process.

Estimated number of civilian Iraqi casualties caused by the war to date: 102,000-111,000.

that's some sick and sad indeed... no doubt.
The government went hard after the dude that leaked the clip, PFC Manning. There were so many inaccuracies between what the airteam saw and what the video shows - boggles my mind how they'd come back harder on the people exposing the truth of the incident rather than the people that attempted to cover it up. But that's war, someone has a profit to make and if drastic changes occured in the Iraq occupation as a result of this getting out in 2007, then that's nearly 4 years of lost profits from whoever in the ing world stands to profit from that cluster .
But no! Let's not ask why we're losing so much in the Middle East, let's focus on cutting benefits and medical care to low income and elderly people in the US - and keeping gay marriage illegal. That's the kind of our Reps are concerned about, real important like that. Uh huh.
Your master. There. Happy?
Yeah, but they weren't carrying cameras.
ing terrible.
