Al Qaeda disputes US death toll in Iraq
AFP ^ | October 30 2005

Posted on 10/29/2005 7:39:50 PM PDT by jmc1969

The number of invading troops killed in Iraq is at least 10 times higher than the published toll of 2,000, the Iraqi branch of the Al Qaeda terrorism network says.

"We are not exaggerating when we say that the number of deaths in the ranks of the crusader army is 10 times higher than the 2,000 announced in the pernicious media," the group said in a website statement.

"Their forces have encountered difficulties disposing of the corpses which they are burying in mass graves in the desert, throwing in the rivers, or incinerating."

20,000 Americans have been killed and we don't know about it. But rest assured, DU soon will.

No doubt the DUmmies and assorted Cindy Sheehan-sycophants will immediately start carrying signs with these new numbers. After all, we're the Evil Force trying to wipe out Cindy's "freedom fighters"...

speaking of which, has she chained herself to a fence yet? /sarc

The extended families of those soldiers must be locked up in those secret FEMA gulags I keep hearing about. Gotta keep them silent somehow.

Yes, you know, the desert rivers...aka 'a mirage'.

Are they really going to try this again? I had some idiot from ANSWER in 2003 try to swear that my son was dead and the Army was faking phone calls home. Oddly enough I saw the same idiot at the last protest. She walked up to me and I just tilted my head sideways and slowly shook my head which caused her to move along.

Yep, she chained herself to a fence but had to be cut loose 5 days later by the DC paramedics after a drunk called it in. Seems everyone had forgotten about her and she was starting to stink.

And of course we made Allah (may moon rocks be praised!) inflict earthquakes upon the Great Satan Troops' in Pakistan.

Can you imagine how many Cindy Sheehans we'd have if this were true -- 18,000 bereaved mothers with no body to bury and a deep suspicion that the Pentagon was covering up the deaths of their loved ones? Just proves how little the enemy knows about us.

Sign...

These fools think that just because their mothers send their sons off to Jihad and never wonder what happened to them that American mothers would never miss a son deployed but never returned.

Did anyone notice how she talked about her upcoming fence protest. She said something like, "i am going to tie myself to the fence until Bush brings the troops home, but I will probably be arrested way before that." it was like she is counting on getting arrested quickly so she doesn't have to be out there too long. i think they should leave her there until she leaves on her own. It would be really funny since the troops won't be home for a few years.

And Vietnam never happened. Back in high school there was this crazy conspiracy theory dude in one of my classes who swore the Gulf War was an elaborate government hoax and that the NSA was watching us through little cameras in our tv. He also claimed to be a communist.

One more line is all you needed to post.

"No evidence is offered for the claims."

Kinda changes the whole picture, don't it?
