Iranian News Agency Report: Iraqi Civilians 'Systematically Sexually Abused' by U.S. Armed Forces

In an article titled "What Price 'Freedom?'" the website of the major Iranian news agency Mehr News charged the U.S. Army with "committing systematic sexual abuse against Iraqi civilians," and directed readers to a website supposedly set up by the U.S. Armed Forces, www.rape.com, that contains a section on "Rape in Iraq" featuring "gory pictures of the atrocities committed by U.S. Armed Forces against Iraqi women and children." However, this is in fact the website of the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), the largest domestic anti-sexual assault organization in the U.S., and which displays no such photos. The following are excerpts from the article: [1]

The Western Media Accuse Saddam and Ba'ath Regime of Atrocities, but Look at the U.S.

"The Western media told all in its wholehearted desperate dedication to bring us the 'truth' – that those opposed to Saddam's regime were shelled and bombed by land and air.

"[The Western media said] that civilian neighborhoods were raised [sic] to the ground by the Ba'athist regime's forces and that not even women, children, and the elderly were ever spared the onslaught.

"This was the other reason given for the invasion of Iraq following the U.S. failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq [–] that democracy would replace the tragic spectacle of the slaughter of the innocent by personality-cult dictatorships.

"The U.S. justification for the genocide of Iraqis seems to be that it wants to put an end to the genocide of Iraqis. Over a million Iraqi children died in the 1990s because of U.S. sanctions. An estimated 100,000 have been born with defects resulting from the parents' inhalation of depleted uranium dust…"

'U.S. Forces Committing Systematic Sexual Abuse Against Iraqi Civilians'

"To add insult to injury, a terrible atrocity that was inflicted on the people of Vietnam by the U.S. forces has made a return.

"U.S. forces are committing systematic sexual abuse against Iraqi civilians. They have even set up a website on the Internet to celebrate their despicable acts in Iraq. [The] 'RAPE.COM' website includes a section named 'RAPE IN IRAQ' – in which gory pictures of the atrocities committed by U.S. armed forces against Iraqi women and children are proudly displayed for all to see."

'Democracy Has Never Been Imposed So Brutally … by a Band of Fraudulent Genocidal Criminals'

"The U.S. occupation forces are currently involved in the indiscriminate bombing, shelling, and abuse of Iraqi civilians in Fallujah. The crimes committed by the U.S. forces are so severe that even members of the Iraqi Governing Council such as Mr. Pachachi are threatening to resign their posts in disgust.

"Little has changed for the people of Iraq. They used to be bombed and shelled by Saddam's henchmen for refusing to believe his lies – and are currently being bombed, shelled and abused by the coalition forces for refusing to toe the U.S. line.

"Democracy has never been imposed so brutally on any nation by a band of fraudulent genocidal criminals posing as the bleeding heart freedom lovers of Washington."

Didn't John Kerry say something eeeeerily similar???

[Old Sarge]

What's next, "Bat Boy" sightings in Mosul?

[nuconvert]

They seem to enjoy demonstrating their sickness to the world, don't they?

[MEG33]

Dear Iran,
Boo

[bolobaby]

Remember that late 70s spoof hit "Bomb Iran?"

Sigh... nostalgia...

[nuconvert]

they're really sick, pong

[dalebert]

We need to send a serious message to Iran about their problem with the truth.

[McGavin999]

It seems the mad mullahs think the Iranian people are ignorant. LOL, there is no way they are going to believe that.

[squarebarb]

They really know what topics will attract the U.S. left-wing media, don't they?

I can guarantee you that no person of sound mind believes this silly crap. I spent 20+ years in the U.S. military and I can guarantee you that if I had ever suspected that any of my associates were engaged in the sexual abuse of anyone, there would have been hell to pay.

"Iranian News Agency Report: Iraqi Civilians 'Systematically Sexually Abused' by U.S. Armed Forces."

This is reported by the same demented assholes who caused millions to die in The Iraq Iran war.

...as opposed to being a Mullahs sex toy...sounds like some 'clerics' are jealous and scared to death the jig in Iran is coming up.

[ApesForEvolution]

They and the islamcommies in America (primarily RATS) are all on the same team.

The Axis of Evil should have the RAT Party high on it's list...

[txhurl]

Well. Israel gets first hit on these dogs.

Shaping up to be an interesting WWIII.

Where were these guys when the Taliban was executing women in Afghan soccer stadiums?

[Xphantasos]

Headlines should read, "Mullahs systematically raping goats and camels in Iran".

[luvbach1]

They couldn't stop lying if their lives depended on it, and they may.If they continue to base their hate of America and the West largely on lies, we may have to neutralize most of them before this is over.

Maybe the Iranians have take a page from this playbook:

The Winter Soldier Investigation

"...When we went through the villages and searched people the women would have all their clothes taken off and the men would use their penises to probe them to make sure they didn't have anything hidden anywhere and this was raping but it was done as searching... MODERATOR. The company commander was around when this happened? CAMILE. Right..."
