America's population is overcrowding each year and why not start a fake war on countries who have oil and gold.it's money fuelled operation hell bent on taking out terrorism for the greater good. No it's to reduce the American population people die in war they're heroes yeah that's true but they have died in vein all for higher powers to grace they're pockets.government aren't worried about the welfare of these people who risk they're lives day in day out.hell they don't even properly look after their people after war services it's a shame and a disgrace having this war or any war I strongly disagree with it

A death toll that almost equates to 400 September 11th attacks but who cares the victims aren't white or western..shame on America and all their puppet collaborational states in the West and overly-compliant media for not dong enough to minimise the civillian slaughter..And after all the butchery,is the world any safer than September 10th 2001?

The Iraq death toll is a huge exaggeration. It's about one-tenth of that while American troops were there. I think the Lancet are responsible of that piece of propaganda.

BlaasForRafa · 01-04-2015 3:23am

In the case of Afghanistan, they'd have been bombing the sh-te out of each other even if the americans hadn't gone in there, it's just what they do.

....what about the dead lads who got someone else to clock in for them because they were down the pub / hungover / didn't need double Irish.

I mean half these dead lads are claiming free taxis and on the scratch over here. One of them is in the sack with your best mates's ex as we speak.

Tragic.

Go away.

Scientific surveys of Iraqi deaths resulting from the first four years of the Iraq War found that between 151,000 to over one million Iraqis died as a result of conflict during this time.

So you edit your post to take out the words "scary fact but a fact" about America being overcrowded, but don't add any basis for your statement.

I live in a state the size of Poland. It has 2 million people in it. Yes, TWO million. Poland has 38 million people in it. Is Poland "overcrowded"??

Such nonsense.

It's laughable how the lefty 'I hate 'Murica' crowd conveniently ignore the fact that the vast majority of those deaths were dealt out by fellow muslims.

As opposed to who? Innocent men, women and children just because they have black hair and brown eyes?

Yeah, ok. The death toll in Syria was over 100,000 in two years yet people such as yourself are trying to make out that it was the same in Iraq in 10 years even with massive aerial bombardments indiscriminate shelling and tank and gunship attacks. The death toll in the destruction of fallujah alone was nearly 70,000. Close to 2 million Iraqis are dead thanks to your American holocaust. Faking the numbers to try and reduce your war crime isn't fooling anybody.

Again for the cheap seats, how many of those did the Americans shoot exactly?

It's hardly scientific if there is that big of a gap between the max and min death toll.

You can hardly call that an precision range. :rolleyes:

donegaLroad · 01-04-2015 11:13am

3 years after the invasion of Iraq by the US, a poll done in the US found that over 70% of people actually believed that Iraq was responsible for Sept 11.

This was because of the massive propaganda campaign by the Bush administration in the lead up to, and during the invasion of Iraq.

Renegade Mechanic · 01-04-2015 11:30am

It's always bothered me what they call it. "The war on terror". How on earth do you declare war on an emotion? Or a feeling? Why are they called "Terrorists"?? What are they to the people who aren't terrified?? It's all very... Over sensationalised. Just call them militants, extremists, insurgents, civilians etc.

And America would want to get their finger out. 1.3 million? Nearly 60 times that died in little over half that period in the 40s

humanji · 01-04-2015 11:38am

MOD: So we've attacks here against America, Muslims, the left, science and emotions. I think that's enough for one train wreck of a thread. There's a politics forum that's much more suited to this sort of discussion.

Death Toll.....
