Isaiah O asked in Politics & GovernmentPolitics · 1 decade ago

Did the U.S.A really kill over 1,500,000 Iraqi civilians?

No seriously that crazy man (Omar Khadafi) on tv today said we killed over 1.5 million non combatant civilians.

i spent 3 combat deployments in that country (was a Corpsman assigned with the Marines) and i didnt see the death camps or the trains taking all these people to the camps.

or did we just shoot them in the cities and leave them there to rot? i didnt see that many civilian bodys dead in the streets.

so were did we kill all these people?

he also said the war in Iraq is the worst human rights violation in history! dude what about the Nazis? what was it like 6 million Jews were killed by them but our little war is worse; just wow!

    It is Moammar, not Omar, he is the terrorist leader that had a Pan Am jet blown up over Scotland.

    If you look at the website "Iraq body count" it puts civilian deaths at no more than about 100,000, but included in that number are people killed by the insurgents and the vast majority of civilians have been killed by the insurgents.

    Never has a military taken more care in any war ever to not cause civilian deaths even to the extent of having rules of engagement that endanger themselves.

    Use high school math 365 days X 6 years = 2190 days Now divide I.5 million by 2190 =684 killed per day Don't think so but many well believe it as they want to believe it

    During the invasion few were killed as Americans don't shoot ''man '' running away in their underwear now do we?But some of us split the face open of anti Americans when we hear them

    I wouldn't put a lot of stock in anything Khadafi has to say. I'm sure their were many casualties, but I'm doubtful it was 1.5 million, and if it was, has anyone considered that most of the time when you heard of civilians dying in Iraq it was in road side bombs and the likes set off by terrorist ? God bless.

    Umm, the place interior the international did you already know Hussein in basic terms gassed a million,500 Kurds after the Iran/Iraq conflict? His cousin, Chemical Ali, gassed over a hundred,000 Kurds total, no longer a million,500. by utilising UN estimates on my own, Saddam and his henchmen have been at present in charge for in simple terms approximately 2 million deaths for the period of his reign of terror for the period of approx 2 an prolonged time which incorporates the deaths in Iran and Kuwait from those wars. it additionally incorporates estimates of the killings by utilising his secret police against effortless Iraqi human beings to boot against the others no longer of his well-known tribe of start. particularly interior the south of Iraq, Shites i think of. I in actual fact doubt the determine of a hundred,000 Iraqi electorate ineffective on the palms of yankee troops is precise. Did the U. S. troops kill a lot of human beings? confident. what number? no person will ever understand yet easily we are in a position to assert very many died on the palms of the U. S. led troops. Heck, no longer in basic terms replaced into it a conflict, yet in the process the so noted as peace after the conflict (sort of) ended, there have been distinctive communities vying for capability plus old hatreds uncovered without Saddam's iron grip to maintain tight reign on them. human beings died, yet what of the folk who lived that woudl have died ought to Saddam stayed in capability? confident, the U. S. shouldn't have long gone in, yet why do you no longer handle the folk who would have been killed by utilising Saddam? He killed on effortless a hundred,000 human beings a 300 and sixty 5 days, by utilising UN estimates too. Who cries for those destructive souls? in case you incredibly preserve the Iraqi human beings killed, why no longer inspect the full image and not in basic terms those killed by utilising the U. S.? the U. S. shouldn't have long gone of their, yet hindsight is often 20/20. even regardless of the incontrovertible fact that, it serves no objective to all and sundry to magnify regarding the quantity ineffective for the two area. in basic terms a million,500 ineffective under Hussein after the Iraq/Iran conflict? Are you in basic terms counting one mass homicide whilst he killed thousands and thousands? you're evaluating in basic terms some killed by utilising Saddam against supposedly one hundred thousand killed by utilising the U. S.. no longer a real assessment, for sure. supply me a smash. Get genuine buddy, get genuine.

    Nope, the overwhelming majority of civilian deaths in Iraq are attributable to the "insurgents" (read terrorists, period), not Coalition forces.
