Human Rights Watch sent a team of researchers to Iraq between April 29 and June 1 to investigate civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure

Their conclusions? ......

People died and stuff got blown up.

What, you were expecting something different in a war?

War is hell, and never before in the history of warfare has so much effort and technology been used in order to prevent the loss of innocent life. There is only one person to blame for these deaths, and that's Saddam Hussein.

So as much as you think "Human Rights Watch" is a reputable organization, Ask them for me where they were on 9/12/01 and did they even bother to investigate who was responsible for the 3000 plus innocent lives lost at the hands of radical Islam on 9/11.

The fact is that "Human Rights Watch" is a group of anti-american socialist who spend way to much time monitoring the results of the response to terrorist groups than they do the murderous Muslim fanatics who plan 90% of their attacks against unsuspecting innocent civilians going about their daily lives.

President Bush offered these words of wisdom during his Sept. 20th, 2001 address to Congress...

"The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them."

World War 2 proved that civilians have to die. The civilian backing of enemy forces must be cracked to ensure victory.

Tens of thousands Iranians would have been prevented if you hadn't helped Saddam even earlier than that.

Nice try lamer. The majority of the military training and equipment that the Iraqis had during and prior to the Iran-Iraq war was French and Soviet. The Iranians fought the Iran-Iraq war with what they learned from the long history with close ties to the United States, prior to the religious fanatics in that country booting the Americans out. Nice going.

Too much "truth" for me to answer all of you, my favorite being:
"Cluster munitions.....Should've used MOABs instead so that bleeding hearts wouldn't have had anyone to interview evidently."

I suppose you can't argue with freedom fighters like this fellow.

Thank you for your attention.
