Hmm even CNN admits there have been quite a few civilian casualties alreadyNormally I would have no problem with that. But there has been no evidence of civilians dying yet. At least not by our hands. Some British journalists are dead or prisoner right now by Iraqi hands.

So it would be all right by you if a bunch of Iraqis pop up in the middle of a US city and nail 77 US citizens?Originally posted by MichaeltheGreat
Big whoop. Even if true, that's what, one civilian per 20 tons of bombs? Sorry, but if anyone thought zero civilians would die, they're nuts, and the anti-sanction people have been whining, claiming sanctions have killed half a million Iraqis, which would be over 100 a day since 1991. (another BS number, but let's assume it has some validity, just for the sake of argument) So let's keep things in perspective - 77 civilian fatalies isn't a hell of a lot.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

edit - reply to chegitz
Your first link is about some **** from Scott Ritter five years ago.
The rest of them repeat the original story, which was superseded by one from IRNA that the rockets were apparently Iraqi and fired from the ground.
I heard that one on TV news last night, both from independent news here in México and from CNN in the US.Last edited by MichaeltheGreat; March 23, 2003, 14:53.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment

If they're doing it while attempting to hit military targets, then yeah, that sort of thing can happen, especially if those military targets are interspersed in civilian areas. (say they wanted to hit a national guard armory for some obscure reason) It doesn't make it "alright" on either side, but it will inevitably happen that civilians are killed.Originally posted by Urban Ranger

The account is unconfirmed, it comes from the Iraqis themselves, so it's pretty rich. Why doesn't someone ask Taha Yassin Ramadan how many Iraqi civilians he was responsible for killing in Basra?When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016.

For now the war has seemed very clean and easy. The point of this thread is to remind the hawks that just because things seem clean and easy doesn't make it so.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

actually it was CNN that says military sources believe the missiles may have been Iraqi.

I think it's conceivable that 500,000 Iraqis could die as a result of this military action - but not soley as a result of our bombs and soldiers - the vast majority of casualties would come from peripheral effects, such as lack of food, Republican Guard attacks, lack of hospitals, etc."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

It couldn't. it's not that people that lack hospitals will just be "turned off" and die instantly. water could be a problem after a couple of weeks ( the vast majority of people stored water and food ) but so far, no water installations were targetted, same with electricity.
500,000 is exagerated by far.Comment
