U.S. invasion killed over 250,000 Iraqi civilians

It rings a bell, but the number is so grotesque that it deserves to mentioned again. Apparently some people still haven’t caught on and continue to insist that America is selflessly doing good deeds. In reality, the American people have been robbed blind and their tax dollars have been effectively put to use in the decimation and subjugation of an entire people.

The figure of 100,000 had been based on somewhat “conservative assumptions”, notes Les Roberts at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, U.S., who led the study.

That estimate excludes Falluja, a hotspot for violence. If the data from this town is included, the compiled studies point to about 250,000 excess deaths since the outbreak of the U.S.-led war.

And given that this study itself is now old, one can most likely add another hundred thousand souls to the ones already stacked on America’s bayonet. Add to that a country that will be laced with chemical poisons and radiation for generations. And a “liberation force” that is hiding behind concrete palisades, like the permanent occupiers they are, and have long since stopped trying to repair the infrastructure they damaged during and since 2003.
