Slapper, I don't bother reading your posts. It's not worth it to read nor argue with anyone who has an IQ under 100. I assume you're probably going to try to spin some rogue US soldiers killing civilians into a military-wide conspiracy to target the Iraqi populace. Keep working on that GED though and I may actually read your posts one day.
The military did not blindly target civilians in their initial invasion of Iraq. They eradicated the Iraqi military infrastructure. Russia went straight to killing civilians, and has already killed upwards of a few thousand. In less than 48 hours nonetheless. What some US soldiers do on their accord is of no relation to the Russian government ordering the mass killing of civilians. If you want to play that game, we could talk about the Russian army's approach to thousands upon thousands of mass killings of Chechen women, children and men.
Well, I'm not asking you to read my posts. If you do, and actualy respond, please do so with a little more regard for the truth, using facts, not the first "patriotic" brain fart that makes it past your left testicle (en route to your brain, but I guess your reasoning runs out of gas on the way to the brain).
First and foremost, let say that the Russian armed forces are amongst the most ruthless killers in the world, I'll give you that. I'll also say that I get my news from other sources outside of the US and let's just say that I know a different version of what our armed forces do. I'll end this paragraph by saying that I'm slowly getting a clearer picture of what goes on in our armed forces and I'm coming to the conclusion that 99.99% of the soldiers are only following orders, and that the real killers, the ones who comit real crimes agains humanity, are Americans nonetheless.
We can look at the Iraqui war if you'd like, although we've set the precedent as to how to attack and kill civilians
en masse: Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which I presume you and the US media would've dubbed a "surgically precise" shot... in a very Rumsfelian way of course. But let's talk about the invasion of Iraq, since it's the war you were referring to. Even before a bomb was dropped, even before the invasion, we were targetting civilians. Look at the Iraq sanctions that our government so much-touted as the way to go in order to get rid of Sadam: and estimated 350,000-500,000
CHILDREN killed either by starvation or lack of medicines.
This is a fact corroborated by even US officials and OF COURSE appeared in the major media outlets thousands of times... NOT!!!!! The sanctions were a complete and utter GENOCIDE, sponsored by us, the Americans, who, by the way, used to keep the money made by selling the Iraqui oil for food program, take a huge cut (in the order of 35 to 50%) and buy food and medicine to be sent to Iraq. That is the real story. What did the US media show? The 3 or 4 UN crooks who bought and sold Iraqui oil for a "cut" of the profits. This story was blown up to incredible proportions, while the 500,000 infant deaths got NO media attention. Some "fair" media we have huh?
You can dishonestly make the point that the US-sponsored sanctions did not intentionally target Iraqui civilians, but if you do I will reply by asking you to provide me with ONE "bad guy" that was ever taken out by (our) economic sanctions. Just one. Furthermore, US officials well were aware of the effect the sactions were having on the Iraqui infants and they decided to keep the sanctions even though countries like France and Germany were questioning their effectiveness,
WITH ACTUAL PHYSICAL PROOF, although I guess you need Colin Powell to make the case...
