I assume this site is anti-war? Saying that the bombs we use aren't precision and cause huge civilian casualties?
Seems like they're not doing that great of a job as far as I'm concerned. 320-428 killed...after 6000+ sorties, 800+ precision bombs, and 100,000 troops in battle in Iraq...with soldiers dressed as civilians.
I can't speak for our troops over there, but I sure as hell think that if I thought a civilian was looking at all threatening to me (a lot of soldiers in civilian clothes faking surrenders would bring me this skepticism), I would most likely open fire.
The fact that over 95% of airspace is ours, and 35% of the entire country, including major cities...yet only 320-348 civilian casualties? Also, a lot of people aren't aware that casualty means "injured or killed". I wonder how many of those people are actually dead. They're saying these larger numbers (even though they're not really that large) trying to persuade opinion.
On a side note, it's believed that the "US bombing the Iraqi marketplace" was an Iraqi anti-air missile that came back down. I wouldn't be surprised if he's setting dynomite in his own marketplaces and blaming it on the US...these are the kind of sick tricks the man does.
