Arab Media Reporting 400 American Soldiers Perished in Fallujah
Source: Islam Memo | 10:24:07 PM
The prominent Arab Media Source, Islam Memo is reporting that Fallujah
resulted in the downing of 16 US Fighter Jets, 11 Attack Helicopters,
5 Reconnnaissance Aircrafts and a Chinook plane that was carrying 60
Americans.
In addition to this report they claim that 136 American Soldiers, 15
British Soldiers and 123 Iraqi National Guardsmen are all being held
as prisoners of war. Islam Memo goes on to say that the Mujahideen
have managed to kill 400 American Soldiers and 140 National Guardsmen
in this Battle for Fallujah.

Isn't the Islam Memo the same organization that 'verified' the Iraqi
Information Minister's claim that there were no US troops at the Bahgdad
Airport (during the invasion in 2003), just a few hours before he failed to
show up for an appointment to escort the media to the airport so they could
see for themselves?

FOX NEWS IS CRAZY PEOPLE EXCHANGING VIEWS
By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 8/6/2004 2:22:00
PM
Time Warner Inc. chairman Dick Parsons Friday described Fox
News Channel as "crazy people exchanging views," telling a
group of minority journalists in Washington he felt that the
channel and his own Cable News Network are two different
services.
When asked by Univision Anchor Jorge Ramos why CNN was
losing the ratings battle with Fox, he was not ready to
concede that. He said that Fox was more like talk radio on
TV, which meant that its viewers stayed longer because
people tended to "come and sit down for an hour or two and
listen to crazy people exchange views." CNN actually draws
more viewers, he said, but said they were grazers who didn't
stay long.
Parsons said he did not feel CNN was liberal, but instead
has a bias for the truth. He conceded that journalists are
often perceived as liberal because they tend to challenge
the establishment. He did not make an overt comparison with
Fox, but he did say that his news operation "does not give a
corporate slant to its journalism. We don't tell them how to
report."

Rubbish.
They've destroyed the city they claimed to be liberating,, killed
thousands of innocent people, let most of the insurgents escape, shot
wounded prisoners, and caused a widespread uprising in the rest of
Iraq, for the loss of only a few dozen US troops.
You're lying again just like you lied about the iraq WMDs.

"Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. We know that for a fact" US
government.
"Regime change is not a valid argument for invasion" US government.
"Iraq and Al Queda are linked" US Government.
"This war has nothing to with stealing Iraqi oil" US Government.

US Army.
The truth is America fears Al Jazeera because it does not tow the US
line. It tells the story from an Arab perspective, that's why it is a
trusted and respected new source worldwide. America even tried to make
Al Jazeera's removal from Falluja a condition of the ceasefire. i.e.
If Al Jazeera is not removed from Falluja, we keep killing. That's how
much the US fear Al Jazeera.
Can you believe some Americans consider it patriotic to listen to
Fox because it never criticizes US policy !!!!?
What a bunch of SICK fucks.

As opposed to those Iraqi insurgents who, when they aren't killing
whole houses full of women and children, are cutting off people's
heads, we actually investigate and punish such behavior.

But it's not the reason you gave for going to war so therefore you
lied. The justification you gave for going to war, i.e. WMD's, Iraqs
connection to Al Queda turned out to be a lie. Don't ask me, ask
Colin Powell. he's so guilt ridden, he's resigning.

Well that's not true. the US has manage to sort out a supply to

Also why are the majority of US troops stationed around the oilwells ?

That's _your_ claim, and whether it's true or not it does not justify your
slaughter of innocent civilians.

Saddam Hussein declared ZERO sarin gas artillery shells in his

Abdul Rahman Yasin, a member of al Qaeda that set the World Trade
Center bomb in 1993, fled to Iraq. U.S. troops recently found
documents in Tikrit, Saddam's home town, that show that a house and a
monthly salary were given to Yasin by Iraq.
Saddam's son Qusay's secret police met with bin Laden at least eight
times according to intelligence made public before the UN Security
Council in Feb, 2003.
Sudanese intelligence agents report that bin Laden met with Iraqi
intelligence agents several times starting in 1994 when bin Laden was
living in Khartoum and met the director of Qusay's secret police in
1996.
In 1999 a British newspaper reported that Farouk Hijazi, a high
ranking officer in Qusay's secret police traveled to Afghanistan to
meet with high ranking al Queda members in 1998.
In October 2000, Pakistani authorities captured an Iraqi
intelligence operative crossing the border of Afghanistan, he was
transferring intelligence to Ayman al Zawahiri, a very high ranking
member of al Queda.
In 1998 an aide, Abbas al-Janabi, to Saddam's son Uday defected, he
repeatedly told reporters that Iraq was linked to al Queda.
Nope, no link there, just put your head back in the sand and hum
real loudly.
>Also why are the majority of US troops stationed around the oilwells ?
Because the Iraqi insurgents are trying to destroy them, the very
last thing they want is for the Iraqi people to rebuild the country
under a democratic government.

Not bad for a few days work.
Anthropy is an appropriate pseudonym for you.
No slaughter of innocent civilians was committed in the taking of
Afghanistan or Iraq.
There may have been a few casualties in collateral damage but that's
expected and acceptable, especially considering how many had been and would
have been tortured and killed under Sadam's reign.
YOU are the enemy!

It's certainly expected, just as a certain number of civilian casualties are

Manhatten.
Acceptable? NO in both cases.

That is not true. George Bush killed many people while Governor of

He kidnapped me with the secret service in 1982 and I still got a

And we have only been in Iraq for a year and have already killed 100,000
people. Did Sadamn kill that many in that short of time?

Oh God, another moron who thinks that the Governor of Texas has
something to do with executions. Where are all these clueless morons
coming from?
I'll give you the short course, since you seem unable to comprehend
anything else.
The governor of Texas can perform exactly ONE action relating to an
execution in Texas. He can issue one and only one stay of execution
lasting 30 days. That's it, that's the entire extent of the Texas
governor in the Texas execution process.
That's it, after that single stay, the process proceeds in
accordance with Texas law, no matter what the governor of Texas wants
or does.

Perhaps we should distinguish between you making yourself the enemy and
someone else making you the enemy.
We are not making ourselves the enemy and nor are we being made enemies of.
You are making yourself the enemy by way of meddling in other nations affairs
and by way of invading other nations. I don't see anyone starting the process
against you.

We could do vastly better.
Was this the same group of "nutters" that killed the other thirty or forty
kidnapped victims?
Do we count Al Jazeera (TerrorTV) as part of it because they reliably
broadcast (over and over) tapes of "nutters" killing westerners?

No, blaming the "whole population" would be carpet bombing (or better yet,
nuking) the entire city of Fallujah. The US military is using
precision-guided weaponry and close combat tactics at the expense of its own
troops to minimize "civilian" casualties.
We may learn some day that this is a bad idea.

Al Jazeera have just announced that they are going to stop broadcasting such

You're basically doing that now. What effect do you think going house to house
and lobbing explosives in is having on the city and the remaining population?

Don't be fucking stupid, "precision-guided weaponry" is only as accurate as the

outside the city, without intelligence.

Check out the US's political actions in the ME over the last 60 years.
Check out the name of the WTC.
Let's go back a little further, to the early 1920s, when GB and the League
of Nations (later the UN) originally screwed the whole thing up. This was
further messed up when the Arab nations rejected the Palestinians and kept
them out of Trans-Jordan. The Palestinians have been the pawns of their
"fellow" Muslims for the past 56 years. Their object is to drive Israel
into the sea, to kill every Jew. They don't give a big rat's ass about the
Palestinians.
As to American "interference", I'm going to ask a question that I know you
will not answer honestly. Should we abandon Israel to placate the Islamic
terrorists?
> Check out the name of the WTC.
What the hell is wrong with the name of a complex of buildings, Greggy?
Which one of the 3 words do you think provoked the Islamic nutter

No Greg. Slaughter is an intentional act of killing. Indeed much care is
taken to limit the damage to the true enemy, and the intention is to only
kill combatants. Collateral means outside of the focus of the attack.
The US is not slaughtering people, especially innocent civilians. Accidents
do happen. I will admit this. But we are not slaughtering innocents.
You know better than that.

It was screwed up by Britain and Russia long before the LN got involved and
before that by the Turks for 3 hundred years.
So, I suppose you're going to blame the Turks for Falujah?

Even assuming the "800 civilians killed" in Falluja put out by
the Arab media is correct ( I put it as an upper limit), this is
still an order or two magnitude less than the Syrians killed in Hama
or the Russians in Grozny. There, they just stood off and leveled
the cities with artillary and airpower. The US deliberately
accepted casualties to keep from doing the same thing.
BTW, I am not trying to defend our Iraq invasion, which
events have proven to be a "bad thing" for the US.

It's a "bad PR thing" for us, but if I have to choose between bad PR and

Domestic law enforcement is judged by different standards than military
combat.
Those rules apply to the New Zealand Army, too. If New Zealand actually
*has* an army, that is.
From the New Zealand Army website
(http://www.army.mil.nz/?CHANNEL=ARMY+OVERSEAS&PAGE=Intro) :
"We're determined to continue being a world class Army carrying the Mana of
all New Zealanders. While that Mana is important when we're at home, it's
even more crucial when we deploy overseas. New Zealand Army personnel are
currently serving and have served in missions in all four corners of the
world."
Here's what the US Marine Corps website
(http://www.marines.com/about_marines/default.asp) says:
"Marines are warriors. Comprised of smart, highly adaptable men and women,
the Marine Corps serves as the aggressive tip of the U.S. military spear.
Ours is a smaller, more dynamic force than any other in the American
arsenal, and the only forward-deployed force designed for expeditionary
operations by air, land, or sea. It is our size and expertise that allow us
to move faster. Working to overcome disadvantage and turn conflict into
victory, we accomplish great things, and we do so together."

No, it is a statement that the US well understands the political
ramifications of killing civilians and trys to minimize this, even at
the cost of US casualties.

Maybe. Though I find fault with the action, I thnk we went
in with good "Wilsonian" intentions, expecting to be welcomed-- there
is no other explaination for why we went in with enough troops to
defeat the Iraq arm, but only half as many needed to hold it against
any kind of local opposition.

Saddam and his two sons. Note that these days the insurrectos seem to

It is not really clear that the path to international terrorism
ran through Irag. Admittedly, the Ass-kicking Saddam got did get a
few peoples attention concerning the US's willingness and ability to
use force. In international affairs, as in the Ghetto, there is
a certain advantage to being thought "Bad" and somewhat irrational...

Oh, and you're the one who brought Palestine and Israel into the thread by
using the all inclusive initials ME. Iraq is in the Middle East, isn't it?
The whole mess revolves around that. No, I'm not going to blame the Turks,
the Ottoman Empire, or the Romans for Iraq. I'll blame Saddam, the UN Food
for Oil program (including Kofi Annan and other corrupt officials), various
people in France, Germany, and Russia for being greedy, arrogant, and
immoral.
Now none of the "collateral damage" victims in Iraq deserved to die any more
than Saddam's victims over the years or the people in the WTC, and the 4
hijacked airplanes, and the people in the Pentagon.
The US Military is taking measures that endanger its personnel as it
attempts to limit collateral damage. Unfortunately, in all the wars there
has always been civilian casualties, especially in the 20th century. I know
you don't believe that, mainly because you don't want to since it doesn't
fit your twisted world vision.

This isn't NZ weapons we're talking about, but American-made stuff with a
CEP tighter than a gnat's chuff.
Intel consists of a building we have taken fire from, or where known
fighters are sheltering. Terminal guidance bouncing a laser off the place.

I gotta hear this...what *would* you describe yourself as?
And leftists are enemies of western civilization - witness them siding with
Saddam and bin Laden.
Iraq was unstable. Terrorists like Zaqarwi, Abu Abbas, Abu Nidal, etc.,
were able to enter and leave Iraq with or without Saddam Hussein's consent.
Either scenario was unacceptable. The combination of Saddam's WMD programs
and the presence of terrorists linked to Al Qaeda was a threat to the
security of any number of western nations (the possible exceptions being NZ
and Finland).
Leftists, as usual, are reduced to shilling for muderers, rapists and

OK Greg. Let's see if we can nail this down a little.
Slaughter is the intentional killing of something. If I fly a jet into
a tower (civilian target) knowing that there could be up to 50,000
innocent people in there that had done nothing to me other than not
being of my ilk (ie not muslim, not Arab, but an American) with the
intent of taking as many lives as I could and actually rejoicing in
the fact. Now that is slaughter.
Collateral damage would be like I am aiming at a tank (military
target) near an old farm house in the middle of no where with a 500 lb
bomb. Some poor guy out in the field 200 feet away that I don't even
know is there catches a peice of shrapnel and dies. I never intended
for him to get it but he is none the less dead. I feel bad about it,
do not rejoice and try in the future to be extremely careful not to
hit any other innocent bystanders. It happended but was not
intentional.
I think it all comes down to the intent behind the act. Even YOU can
see the difference between the two. If not then nothing could ever be
done to explain it to you nor would I further try.

If there are innocent civilians in the house, and 25% will contain innocent
civilians, the whole house will get cleared.

Let's go back to the WTC in 1993, Kuwait and a refusal to adhere to over 18
resolutions, the USS Cole, Somalia, Kabar Towers, and of course 9/11/01.
These acts that after awhile tend to aggravate us.
You still fail to see the process?
If you drift off the highway, you steer back on. Sadam was a bad driver and
had to be replaced. The Iraqi people are better for it and grateful for a
job well done. Now parents don't have to worry about their daughter being
ushered into Uday and Qusay's rape rooms or their sons being tortured for
entertainment.
It's a grand thing and you should learn to appreciate it.
I did. I find nothing to provoke terrorists attack against American
civilians.
What else do you have?
Slaughter of innocent civilians is what Sadam did, during "peace" time.
So the slaughtering of innocent civilians in wartime by the americans is
alright then?
And they wonder why people spit at them in the streets when they travel...

bin Laden has been hampered in his activities by other accountants in the

strike in the US. He may make videos, but then anyone with a video cam can

repeatedly for reporting crimes and for stnding on a street. No criminal
charges filed.
Under his investigation they had found out that the police are more
corrupt than the criminals they had arrested. Governor Ryan closed down
death row with due process.

The thing speaks for itself. Few people understand what
heavy ordnance delivered from altitude can do, tho the Taliban had a
taste of it.
The US obviously has the firepower to level (say) Falluja or
most any other place for that matter. Why didn't we just use it? A
couple of squadrons of B52's carpet bombing or a dozen daisey cutters
would have saved 50+ American lives. And shown we mean business....

Saddam, etc. were home-grown, a product of the middle-eastern
tendency for the biggest and most ruthless psychopath to take control.
If anybody supported him, it was the rooshins, not us.

It is true that we likely gave Saddam some intelligence input
during the Iran-Iraq war, but that was the extent of it. All his
weapons systems were Rooshin, with some French stuff for flavor.
BTW, I recall the sinking/major destruction of a US destroyer by the
Iraqi airforce during that war. Likely, the attack was
deliberate...

A modest suggestion: Now that he has been suitably chastized,
I say we put Saddam back in power. He's tanned, rested, and ready
to go. He knew how to run the place. Serve 'm right..

I never said that I personally would find bin Laden, bACKassward. He's
currently making vain claims on videos distributed by Terrorist R Us. He's
cleaned up fairly well. Has he asked you for a date yet? All the goats in
the neighborhood head for the high ground when he approaches so he desperate
enough to ask you by now.

Actually Saddam pretty much know where they were at all times,
at least in the areas he controlled. The Iraqi security forces were
pretty good. Likewise, Saddam did arrange for Abu Nidal to be
killed when he got to be too much of an embarrassment. So the man
was not all bad<G>

He sure had me convinced about the WMD's. I suspect that
Saddam himself beleived he had some. The Baathist aren't all bad.
The Hama slaughter was because the Moslem Brotherhood had taken over
the city.

>You blame SADAM who you supported into power and who you maintained in power.
You keep making this claim. Give us some eamples. About all we
ever did for Saddam is a little intelligence during the Iran-Iraq war
on the basis of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Essentially
all Saddams military equipment was Russian with a few French aircraft.

No, I have failed to notice that - I have looked for any evidence but have seen
none.
The only people siding with Saddam Hussein were the yanks.

Iraq is a damn sight more unstable right now!

Have you ever considered distinguishing between "terrorists" and "freedom
fighters"?

Why?

There weren't any in 2003.

Allowing for the moment that you may be including me amongst "Leftists"
<sheesh>, I have _never_ supported the yank murderers, rapists and thieves, nor
their profiteers.
