Children Pay Cost of Iraq's Chaos Malnutrition Nearly Double What It Was Before Invasion
By Karl Vick Washington Post Foreign Service Sunday, November 21, 2004; Page A01
BAGHDAD -- Acute malnutrition among young children in Iraq has nearly doubled since the United States led an invasion of the country 20 months ago, according to surveys by the United Nations, aid agencies and the interim Iraqi government.

Compost, great propaganda organ of the loser left.
Register at the Post? No thanks.
Let me guess, they surveyed people in Fallujah.
I guess little girls should be ashamed of themselves for wanting to attend school.
Of course, this couldn't be a smoke screen to get eyes off a certain scandal, could it?
I don't play that game either. That's why I use BugMeNot. : )
The UN, CARE and Doctors Without Borders are all mentioned as having bailed out of Iraq because of terror fears. Doctors in Iraq live in fear of kidnapping or attacks and are getting expediting weapons permits from the Iraqi government.
But, basically, it's all our fault and no mention is made of the purported 500,000 Iraqi children who were killed each year by the sanctions imposed on Saddam's regime.
What is worse...children not getting enough food from Muslims....or children being executed in their classroom by Muslims?
Show me the math UN, aid agencies and Iraqi's interim goverment used to come to these conclusions.
1st, don't count females..
2nd, don't count any children that have died..
3rd, bribe the UN, French, Russian, etc..
Lastly, blame America..
After the fall of Saddam's empire,....
Count all children, male and female..
Count all children that have died..
Blackmail the UN, French, Russia, etc..
Lastly, blame America..
Thank you.
Thanks for the additional info. That's what I figured.
We're not allowed to excerpt very much from Post articles.
Good point about 500,000 kids who died due to sanctions.
