Just Who is Killing Who in Iraq?

If one were to listen to the anti-war activists and America haters, Iraq was a mideastern version of Disneyland under Saddam's reign and over 1 million Iraqis have been killed by the murderous US and coalition soldiers.

The reporting on this has been exclusively slanted towards such insinuations we all know, but the report last week claiming the above throughout the world initially looked like the one below, where the culprits of these murders and killings have been the for the most part insurgents and terrorists, not the coalition forces.

KOTV.com - The News On 6: "VIENNA, Austria (AP) _ About 150,000 Iraqis have been killed by insurgents since the U.S.-led invasion more than three years ago, a senior Iraqi official said Thursday.

For every person killed about three have been wounded in violence since the war started in March 2003, Iraq's Health Minister Ali al-Shemari told reporters in Vienna.

It was the first overall casualty figure for the war to be released by the Iraqi government, which took office on May 20.

Al-Shemari did not explain how he arrived at the figure or say whether that number included Iraqi soldiers and police, as well as civilians. Also unclear was if it included Iraqis killed in sectarian violence or only in insurgent attacks. But he said the count was of ``innocent'' victims, suggesting civilians only.

In October, the British medical journal The Lancet published a controversial study contending nearly 655,000 Iraqis have died because of the war _ a far higher death toll than other estimates. The study, which was dismissed by President Bush and other U.S. officials as not credible, was based on interviews of households and not a body count.

Al-Shemari disputed that figure on Thursday.

``Since three and a half years, since the change of the Saddam regime, some people say we have 600,000 are killed. This is an exaggerated number. I think 150 is OK,'' he said " read more
I'll take his word over the word of the multitude of American hating anti-Iraq war journals like the Lancet or the words of the terrorists themselves. As we know they are not reliable although the AP considers them to be valid sources when accusing our soldiers of murder, as does Dick Durbin, John Kerry and Jihad Jack Murtha along with many other military hating politicos on the left who by the way was just re-elected here in what used to be the US.(murtha re-elected, the other 2 come up in '08 for slaughter)
