Kangaroo said... The outrage is there, if you have read Rebelle Nation you will understand that, for the innocent Iraqi People and for the American Military Machine, that where sent to war for a lie.

But your so called Commander in Chief has lied so many times, no one knows why you and the coalition are the Hell in Iraq, wasn't WMDs, certainly was not the Liberation of the Iraqi People from Sadam , you and we are occupying Iraq a Sovereign Nation, that in no way at all committed a crime against the American People or the coalition countries, WHAT CRIME DID THESE PEOPLE COMMIT who are dying daily. This Halliburton employee went over there to make lots of money, he knew the consequences of his decision, he knew that Iraq had not committed any crimes against his country. And what about the military dying to protect these contractors who are making exhorbatent amounts of money while your military are protecting them for a pittance. Dont talk to me about Cheneys Halliburton WHO ARE RAKING IN BILLIONS AT THE EXPENSE OF INNOCENT IRAQI PEOPLE, AND THE AMERICAN MILITARY MACHINE.

...There is an echo here of the treatment given the October 2004 Lancet report that found 100,000 excess Iraqi civilian deaths since the 2003 invasion. This was dismissed at the time and has generally been ignored ever since, even though earlier mortality studies in the Democratic Republic of Congo by the same lead author, Les Roberts, and using the same methodology, were cited by the likes of Tony Blair and Colin Powell. Last February, Roberts returned to the subject of Iraq, this time estimating that the civilian death toll there could have reached 200,000-300,000. Having examined the media's preferred study, produced by the Iraq Body Count (IBC) website - which puts the number of civilian deaths, based on reports by the media, at 43,000-48,000 - Roberts and colleagues found that "it cannot be more than 20 per cent complete"...
