This last sentence pretty much destroys your credibility. The streets of Najaf were running with Shiite blood. Something never seen after the Kuwait war.

wrote: The U.S. has probably killed more Iraqis than Saddam ever did. Not even close. The low counts for Saddam run around 300K dead. The streets of Najaf were running with Shiite blood. Something never seen after the Kuwait war. You sort of missed out on the post-GW1 fighting in both north and south, not to mention Kurds being gassed. I suppose that would result in less blood. |

The number given by the U.S. Army is Unknown, but several thousand wounded, and several hundred dead (300 - 600 probable killed). |

"Dav1936531" wrote in message ... From: "Bob Coe" YyX4d.79$gk.33@okepread01 The Commandant of the Marines said today, that his troops "will not be able to enter Fallujah, Iraq for years." snip It's a sad day for the Marine Corps. The real ****er is that, No, the real ****er is that these alleged comments from GEN Hagee don't seem to show up anywhere in press accounts. Until somebody can point to a source, this sounds a bit fishy. Brooks snip |

Which is pretty much how Saddam controlled things. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all? Yes, he was. Maybe the people he killed deserved to die? You can't really think that. The U.S. has probably killed more Iraqis than Saddam ever did. Very doubtful. The streets of Najaf were running with Shiite blood. Something never seen after the Kuwait war. Uhhmm...not to rain on your rant, but again, what is the SOURCE for these alleged comments by the CMC? A Google of news reports for "Hagee Fallujah" does not turn up any reference to the comments you quoted and claimed were his. So...where's the beef? Brooks |

Do you know how many tens of *thousands* they believe are buried in Saddam's mass graves? Ever see the reports of the remains disentered by the Kurds alone after just *one* of the mass grave areas in their region was liberated? Now, what is the source for your alleged quote from the CMC?
