Iraq: 63 % of the casualties were civilians

[Husar]

Aaaah, child support!!! *runs away*

That state actually profits from more children in the long run, that's why it creates an incentive to get more.

To get back to the actual topic, Bush lied, and the American soldiers opened fire, and if they're not a bunch of overrated sissies they actually killed Iraqis.
I was actually a bit of a supporter of the war until it became painfully obvious that the whole WMD thing was a big lie, and I don't like being lied to, at all.
That there are insurgents is no big surprise when you start a war over a big lie and invade a country that wasn't very fond of you to begin with and where you previously betrayed some people.

Like killing a family, finding a bottle of rat poison, and then say the murder was justified because they may have used the bottle to kill little children in the neighbourhood.

Absolute rubbish they would have paraded it on the news for all to see so that McCain could trounce O'Bama if anything I bet it is disinformation to discredit Wikileaks.

Are you serious? Leaking tens of thousands of classified documents to discredit Wilikeaks?

[Tellos Athenaios]

Well I don't see the US armed forces deliberately fabricating tons of documents for the purpose of discrediting some random online hangout that didn't carry any mainstream clout to speak of. Wikileaks would be fairly obscure back in 2004. On the other hand cowboy is right that if any true WMD were found (and I don't mean some dumped agrarian pesticide or something) news would've been all over it saying how America Was Right All Along.

From that article it looks like the “found” evidence of WMD were (a) remnants of prior chemical weapons/weapon production which dates back to the first Gulf War; (b) stuff that could be anything. From a stock of agrarian pesticides, to local drugs lab, to the stuff that Discovery/Nat Graphic get overly excited about (dropping mint sweets in cola!!)...

No they just slip a few bogus reports in amongst the massive pile to track which department is leaking the documents or even precisely who is leaking the stuff.

It is a fact they found no WMD so wikileaks looks stupid and possibly even in cahoots with US.

If you google it the blogs journo's are already starting questioning the veracity.

Because, if it's on the internet it must be true.

Well you and I know that but it only takes a few people to pass on a meme and it can spread like wildfire.
