Amputations fuel Iraq’s health care crisis.

The Guardian reports, “Iraq is facing a hidden healthcare and social crisis over the soaring number of amputations, largely of lower limbs, necessitated by the daily explosions and violence gripping the country.” Similarly, the level of amputations “performed by military surgeons on US troops in Iraq are twice as high as those recorded in previous wars.”

    They won’t be alone in that crisis.

    a charity named after US aid worker Marla Ruzicka, who was killed in a suicide bombing in Iraq – is proposing funding a new $500,000 factory in Mosul to build prosthetics to meet demand.

    absolutely pathetic , there should be an emergency spending bill by Bush to pay for HIS damage

    Bush has no respect at all

    Our soldiers did a good thing liberating Iraq.

    It’s not Bush’s damage.

    Yes, the impeachment post was taken down.

    commenting from a fantasy future, are you? iraq has been liberated from its oil, electricity and standard of living. good job, Bushie.


  10. Brassmask from 3DHS says:

    “The Iraqi people did NOT deserve this from Bush”

    They have a chance to chart their own destiny now; they didn’t before under Saddam.


  11. Brassmask from 3DHS says:

    “They won’t be alone in that crisis.”

    The Iraqi people will be alone to deal with the terrorists if the Dems have their way. We can’t allow them to cut and run.


  12. Brassmask from 3DHS says:

    “I hope your country is willing to pay the costs”

    You are free to send in more money to the treasury if you like. But I bet you won’t. You’re a cheap liberal.


  13. ronjazz says:

    Comment by Brassmask from 3DHS — July 29, 2007 @ 2:28 pm

    Oh, it most certainly is his damage, and with any luck at all, he will hang for it, as he deserves. Iraqis did nothing to deserve this bullying, psychopathic liar killing and displacing millions of them. Saddam has been dead for quite a while, so the only reason Bush continues is because he likes to kill innocent women and children. Some deserter you worship.


  14. Tobey Tall says:

    26,000 American wounded and 6% are amputees = 1560 American Amputees

    I estimate 100 deaths perday in Iraq 150 wounded everyday

    that would be 16500 Iraqi Amputees below the knee (only)

    God knows how many are without arms, eyes ,feet, legs, fingers

    and for what – a little Bushy lie


  15. Brassmask from 3DHS says:

    “commenting from a fantasy future, are you?”

    No, I live in reality. Unlike you, who think that if we cut and run everything is just going to be rosy in Iraq.

    that’s pretty funny coming from a born cheapskate and traitor.


  17. Brassmask from 3DHS says:

    History will regard Bush as a grerat president, just like it does now for Truman.


  18. ronjazz says:

    If we “cut and run”, more American soldiers will be alive, and the terrorists will leave. What a horrible thought for you America-haters.

    Their own freedom.

    Bush will be in the same chapter in the history books as Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin.

    More Americans will be dead. We will have another 9/11.

    Freedom to have arms, legs, eyes, feet and fingers. That’s no good.


  25. Tobey Tall says:

    The full facts and figures of this unjust war will come out SOONER than what we all think and be headlines for years to come


  26. Brassmask from 3DHS says:

    “Bush will be in the same chapter in the history books as Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin.”

    More accuratly, Truman.


  27. doro says:

    where did the Gonzales impeachment go?


  28. Brassmask from 3DHS says:

    “Freedom to have arms, legs, eyes, feet and fingers. That’s no good.”

    Saddam raped, murdered and killed to passify the Iraqi people. Now they can be free.

    Hi Zooey, looking forward to your message. I agree the troll infestation is bad today. Full moon??

    No need, you’re the traitor here now. why aren’t you deployed, by the way, coward? Oops, answered my own question. Here’s another: is it hard to type when hiding under the bed? And why did Bush let 9/11 happen, and where’s Osama?

    Please pass this on, far and wide!!

    I received this over the internet last year. It is not too late to stop them, yet, but it soon will be.

    Please print this out for the majority who don’t have computers, and give it to as many people as you can.

    Everyone on Earth should read this and it will never get into the papers, for the reasons stated in it, that is why everyone should make as many copies as they can and pass them on. How else will people be able to read it? If everyone does their bit we can inform the world and set the wheels of redemption in motion.

    A LETTER ADDRESSED TO “THE SHEEPLE” FROM “THE GLOBALIST NEW WORLD ORDER”*

    (with added details of THE ONLY WAY to DEFEAT the NWO and bring True and Lasting Peace and Justice to Planet Earth)

    *The original letter (in plain text) was received from an American contact and has not been altered in any way, it purports to come from a New World Order elitist. All notes and references in italics have been added later.

    Dearest Citizen of the World,

    I believe the time has come to reveal to you some of the perplexities you have faced in recent decades. It is well for you to understand some of these things so that you might know how to behave in the New Order now taking shape on the earth. We want you to be able to become fully involved and integrated into our new society. After all, this is for your best interest if you will do.

    First of all, it is well that you understand some of our purposes so that you may more fully co-operate. I cannot tell you the hard times you will face if you resist us. We have ways of dealing with resisters. I am only telling you this now, since it is much too late to turn things around. The days of putting a stop to us have long since past. We have full control of the earth and its finance, along with the major media propaganda, and there is simply no way any nation or power can defeat us.

    We have eyes in every level of government in every nation of the world. We know what is being planned, for our ears and eyes are ever present.

    State secrets are fully known to us. China recently accused the media in the U.S. of lying about Kosovo. Oh, you silly people, of course we lie*. In this way we can keep the people unbalanced and always facing controversy which is very helpful to us. Have you not seen the talk show spectacle? Some of you believe we are the liberals and the good people are the conservatives. In reality, both serve our purposes. Each camp merely serves with the stamp of our approval but they are not allowed to present the real issues. By creating controversy on all levels, no one knows what to do. So, in all of this confusion, we go ahead and accomplish what we want with no hindrance.

    * Ye are of YOUR father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father (inventor) of it.
    - John 8:35

    Consider the President of the United States. Even though he regularly breaks every known check on his power, no one can stop him. He goes ahead and does whatever we want him to do anyway. The Congress has no power to stop him.

    He does what we want since he knows if he does not, because of his rather dark character, we can have him removed in a moment’s time. Is not that a rather brilliant strategy on our part? You cannot take us to court because you can’t see us and the courts are our servants as well. We run everything, yet, you do not know who to attack. I must say this hidden hand is wonderfully devised and without any known historical precedent on this scale. We rule the world and the world cannot even find out who is ruling them.

    Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
    Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (and his advocates ­ the NWO).
    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
    Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God**, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
    - Ephesians 6:10-13

    This is truly a wonderful thing. In our media we present before you exactly what it is we want you to do. Then, as if in a flash, our little servants obey. We can send American or European troops to wherever we like, whenever we like, and for whatever purpose we like, and you dutifully go about our business. How much more evidence do you need? We can make you desire to leave your homes and family and go to war merely at our command. We only need to present some nonsense to you from the president’s desk or on the evening news and we can get you all fired up to do whatever we like. You can do nothing but what we put before you.

    YOUR VAIN RESISTANCE

    When any of you seek to resist us, we have ways of making you look ridiculous as we have done with your militia movement. We have delighted to use this movement to show the world how impotent any resistance is. They look so silly marching around with their guns as if they were some match for our military. Look at what we did near Waco. Did the Davidian’s little store of weapons help them? We have generously taxed you and used that money to make such sophisticated weapons you can in no way compete. Your own money has served to forge the chains we bind you with, since we are in control of all money.

    And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell-fire.
    - Matthew 10:28

    Some of you think you may escape by buying some land in the country and growing a garden. Let me remind you that you still pay us ground rent. Oh, you may call it property taxes, but it still goes to us. You see, you need money no matter what you do. If you fail to pay your ground rent to us, we will take your land and sell it to someone who will pay us. Do you think we cannot do this?

    And with your ground rent we pay for the indoctrination of your children in the public schools we have set up. We want them to grow up well trained into the system of our thinking. Your children will learn what we want them to learn, when we want them to learn it, and you pay for it through your ground rent.

    Those funds are also used for other projects we have in mind and our contractors are paid handsomely for their work. You may doubt that we own your children, or have such control, but you will find that we do. We can declare that you abuse your children when you spank them and have them confiscated.

    If they do not show up for school indoctrination, we can accuse you of neglect, thereby, giving them to us. Your children are not yours. They are ours. You must inoculate them, you must bring them to our hospitals if we decree or we will take them from you. You know this and we know this.

    Through our electronic commerce we are able to see where you are, what you are buying and how much you have to buy things with. Where do you suppose we come up with our monthly financial statistics? Through the Internet and other sources we can even know how you think and what you say. It is not especially important to us what you believe as long as you do what we say. Your beliefs are nonsense anyway*. But if you think you have a following, and we perceive that you might be somewhat dangerous to our agenda, we have ways to deal with you.

    * Here is where the NWO’s weakness lies ­ their dis-belief in God and His Infinite Power is the root of their arrogance and complacency.
    “Don’t under-estimate The Force. The ability to destroy a planet (weapons of “mass destruction”, etc.) is insignificant next to The Power of The Force (God’s Powers)” ­ Please read the “Starwars, fact not fiction” booklet at http://i.am/jah/starwar.htm for a more detailed explanation of this statement.

    We have a Pandora’s box of mischief with which to snare you. We can have you in court so long you will never get out. We can easily drain away all your assets over one pretext or another. We have an inexhaustible fund with which to draw from to pay our lawyers. These lawyers are paid by you in the form of taxes.

    You do not have this vast supply of wealth. We know how to divide and conquer. Have we not brought down rulers of countries through our devices? Do you think your tiny self will be any match for us?

    When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
    But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
    - Matthew 19:25-26

    And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
    - Matthew 12:25

    YOUR VAIN ORGANIZATIONS

    And, let us consider your religions and the “moral majority.” The “moral majority” is neither moral nor is it in the majority. We have delighted to use this wet noodle of a movement to make ridiculous the bibleian faith. The silly men who run that organization always end up with egg on their faces*. We have always put them in defense of themselves as we have so successfully done with the NRA. We can make it seem by our media propaganda that the National Rifle Association is actually the New Radical Attackers.

    * Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch (or Pit).
    - Matthew 15:14

    Have we not turned the American conservative movement on its ear? If it serves our purposes we can use the conservatives to turn the liberals on their ear. It makes no difference to us but it serves to make you believe there are two sides struggling for their particular position. This helps to make things seem fair and free since everyone has a voice. Actually, there is only one side now with all kinds of masks on, but you are unable to penetrate our purposes.

    You see, we can do whatever we like and you can do nothing about it. Does it not seem reasonable that you simply obey and serve us?* Otherwise, you get eaten up in the resistance you suppose will liberate you.

    * Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
    And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
    Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him ONLY shalt thou serve.
    Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
    - Matthew 4:8-11

    You cannot be liberated. Imagine how you can. We supply your fuel for your cars. We can turn it off whenever we like claiming that there is some sort of fuel shortage. What if your car breaks down? You cannot get parts for it without us. We supply all the money you use. At any whim of our desire we can stop the money supply or cause a complete crash all together. We can then order the president to declare all money worthless and that we will have to have new money. All of your stashes of cash will go up in smoke in a moment’s time.

    Don’t you need food? If necessary, we can cause a trucker’s strike which would stop deliveries of food to your local store. We can starve you whenever we like. You only have food because we have provided it to you from our table.

    During the great depression we controlled the food. We heaped mountains of food behind fences and let it rot. The hungry were then made to work in our labour camps even though there was enough and more to feed them. Do you really think you can beat us? You say you will hoard gold coins so you will still have money in the time of the crash. We can simply pass a law which outlaws the possession of gold as we have done in the past. If we find gold in your possession, we would simply confiscate it and put you in prison for breaking the law.

    While in prison you would be required to work in one of our prison industries. We have so formed a picture of the labour camps in our prisons these days that no one seems to object to them. We tell people that murderers should pay for their own keep.

    No one seems to consider that we have the power to put tomato growers there also. We can pass laws that prohibit gardens and then make up some scientific reason why you may only buy food from our sources. If someone sees you growing tomatoes, they will report you to us and then we will have you in our fields working for us. Oh, silly nationalists, there is no escape for you, for since long before you were born, we were planning your capture. Your teachers and ministers have been forming your thoughts for us for generations now. You have no idea how to pull out of our influence short of suicide. Go ahead and commit suicide, it will only help us to deal with the excessive population. You cannot hurt us, find us, or even imagine what we are up to.

    I am throwing you these few crumbs only so that you may, if you have a little good sense, obey and follow our orders.

    And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
    For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
    But rather seek ye the Kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
    Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
    - Luke 12:29-32

    YOUR CONTROLLED MIND

    We run Hollywood. The movies such as Terminator and Armageddon, along with a great host of others, were simply created to get you thinking according to our directions. You have been made to delight in violence so that when we send you off to kill some bad man we have put before you, you move without a whimper.

    We have placed violent arcade games in your malls to prepare your young minds in the art of battle. We have made you to view our armies and police as the good forces and you submit to things that were unthinkable just a few decades ago. Our artful programs, are all designed to help you submit and even help the New World Order.

    Star Trek, and other such creations, have taught you to simply obey orders from the new international rulers. Oh, silly people, you thought you were being entertained, while you were actually being educated. Dare I use the words, “brainwashed” or “mind control?” By the way, have you seen the new Star Wars?

    What a masterpiece of mental manipulation. Humans confer with nondescript beasts of all shapes and sizes and they confer in English. I wonder where those space beasts learned English. Oh, the simpleness of the mind of the citizen. He never considers he is being taken into fairyland. We have placed advertisements for Star Wars almost everywhere you go. You will find them in Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Taco Bell and a host of our institutions of commerce. There is something we want you to learn from this movie. Or, perhaps it could be said, there is something we do not want you to learn, from Episodes 4-6. Either way, we will have what we want in the whole affair.

    For a full explanation of, and the reason why “they” don’t want you to learn from episodes 4-6 of the Starwars films, please study the “Starwars, fact not fiction” Booklet at http://i.am/jah/starwar.htm or send £1 Sterling or $2 US plus postage, for a printed copy of it, to the address at the end of this article.

    Of course, to keep you off guard we have instructed our elected officials to appear to be correcting the evil of our violence. President Clinton is now speaking against violence in Hollywood movies. This will not solve the problem, but will only make the people believe the problem is being worked on. Sex and violence are the very best powers to use to help us gain our advantage. How the people loathe to give up their sex and violence, so we place all they want before them. In this way, we keep them so occupied they do not have the integrity or brain power to deal with the really important matters which are left entirely in our hands. President Clinton has been very helpful to us. We knew of what character he was before we placed him as president. Exposing him was very helpful in adjusting the moral habits of the youth downward. This is to our advantage.

    Even more agreeable to us were the vain efforts of those who thought they could remove him against our will. He is useful to us and he will not be removed by anyone until we are ready to have him removed. Excuse me if I seem to be mocking your system of beliefs, but they are rather outdated. Have you no eyes to see your vain liberties and your righteous pontifications are nothing before us? You can only do what we say you can do. We remove presidents when we are ready and the leader we set up will be there until it serves us to have another.

    At that time we place our proposed leader before you and you vote for what we want. In that way we give you the vain voting exercise in the belief you had something to do with placing your president in office.

    We use the nations for what we want to use them for. Everyone knows that they must yield to us or die. Fortunately, we have had a few resisters such as Saddam and Milosevic that have been helpful in showing the world leaders what we will do to them if they do not submit.

    There is only glory in following our purposes and doing what we say. If one does not, there will be such a sad and tragic result. I would really have you spared of such an end. But, then, again, if you are not spared, it is of no consequence to us. We will use you to alleviate some of the overpopulation problem.

    YOUR SILLY REBELLION AGAINST OUR DOMINION

    Some of you have thought you could stop us by placing a bomb in one of our abortion clinics or in a government building. Silly souls! How can that hurt us?

    All that does is give us an example to use so that we might place more controls and heavy burdens on the population. We love it when you rebel and blow something up. You are our reason for making more laws against all those things which might contribute to your freedom from us. If someone did not blow something up on occasion, we would have no justification in placing more hedges about you. Can’t you see how impossible it is for you to resist us? The more you wriggle, the more we squeeze.

    Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
    But I say unto you, Do not resist evil (with evil): but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheeck, turn to him the other also (and thereby neutralize the evil with good).
    And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
    - Matthew 5:38-40

    Our kingdom is the kingdom of money. Excuse me, but I must confess that we are the rulers of the kingdom of non-money. You must see the humour in that statement. We have given you a piece of paper or some numbers on a computer screen that we have termed money. It is backed up by nothing and proven by nothing but what we say it is. We create it from nothing, we print it, we loan it, we give it its value, we take its value away. All things that have to do with money are in our hands. Think of it, what is it that you can do against us without money? If you try to resist, we can cancel your credit or freeze your accounts. Your cash is easily confiscated. We have made so many rules in the realm of living that you cannot live without money.

    Camp on government land and you must move in two weeks. You cannot grow much of a garden in two weeks. Many of our wilderness trails are entered by permit only. We have passed laws that do not allow you to live in trailers over a certain period without moving to another location. Have you not thought it ridiculous that we will allow a man to live in a box full time but we will not allow a man to live in an RV full time unless he is in a taxpaying campground?

    Please study Matthew chapter 23 in its completeness for bible’s opinion of all lawyers, politicians and priests of every denomination.

    OUR UNFATHOMABLE MYSTERIES

    Our recent war in Serbia has many purposes to it but we do not speak of these things openly. We let the talk show hosts blather all sorts of nonsense but none of it touches the core. First of all, there is a wealth of natural resources in Kosovo that we must have complete control of. Kosovo has large supplies of uranium in its soil and uranium is very helpful to our regime. Also, it suits us to keep all such minerals out of the hands of potential enemies.

    Milosevic has not been helpful in giving those resources into our hands so we simply make things difficult for him until he does. Even now victory over Yugoslavia is imminent.

    We are reducing that proud nation to the level of humility we require from all people. After the war, if Mr. Milosevic does not sufficiently humble himself, we will take him to the world court charged with war crimes. We made up that term; rather ingenious, don’t you think? How could there be such a thing as a war crime? The very nature of war is that the rules are off. It is so entertaining to watch the nations try to fight war according to the laws we have placed before them. The only war crime there really is only involves the crime of being against us. Anyone against us is violating our law. As you have seen when someone is for us we do not care what they do. Was not Nelson Mandela a bomb-toting terrorist who killed many of his enemies? We made a hero of him.

    We observe no laws when it comes to war. We do what we want, when we want and where we want. We can starve nations to death, we can ruin civilians and any other horror for which we would take our enemies to court. Look at our example.

    We bomb Serbia out of its wits, bomb Kosovans out of their homes, poison their rivers and streams, turn off their electricity making a grand crisis in that country, and then we masterfully make it appear it is all Mr. Milosevic’s fault and he needs to go to court for it. It is the same way we made our inferno at Waco look like Mr. Koresh’s fault. Then there was our chief villain, Saddam with all of his weapons of mass destruction. Bad men are a dime a dozen and we can conjure one up whenever it suits us. This is really quite funny when you think of it. I am not one who is usually given to humour, but I do catch myself laughing sometimes at the absolute absurdity of the notions we place before you and you readily accept.

    Do you wonder that the leaders of the world tremble at our presence? They know they have no power except the power we give them. We have no fear of Russia or China for we are already in full control of their system of things. China knows that we can freeze any number of its corporations in America and all of its capital at the stroke of a pen.

    We want you to be in the system. When you are buying a house, we not only receive the tax revenue to use for our purposes, but we gain large increases from the interest on the loan. You may pay for your house two or three times over from the interest alone. The interest is also taxed which is again placed for use in those sectors of influence we choose.

    We do not want you to escape free and that is why we have made it as we have. You are our property. We will not permit you to buy or sell unless you submit to our mark of authority*. If you go to court against us, we will wear you out there and in the end you will lose. If you use violence, we will end up having you in one of our labour camps, more specifically called prison industries. You need our money, our entertainments, our fuel, and our utilities to function and if you don’t have them, you feel deprived. By this, you are made to yield to our will.

    * And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
    And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast (system), or the number of its name.
    Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of man (created 6th day); and its number is Six hundred threescore and six (man, man, man).
    - Revelation 13:16-18

    You have asked me for any updates on the “Letter to the Sheeple from the Globalist New World Order” and I believe that, because of my response to their letter, they have very quickly realised that they are NOT invincible and that because they now know that I know HOW to defeat them, they have gone very quiet and are no longer boasting that they are invincible, because they KNOW that I have found their Achilles’ Helland can defeat them, IF the Sheeple wake up and do as I recommend them to do. The Globalists seem to have therefore stopped their boasting andhave speeded up their legislating in a mad rush to complete their plan, including 9-11 incident, before the “Sheeple” can arrest and stop them. Time is therefore of the essence, if the “Sheeple” are goingto survive.

    The following response to the Globalist’s boast was written by one of my disciples whom I have taught, amongst other things, how to defeat the Globalist New World Order. It is long but worth every second it takes to read, reread and digest it. Please post it on the APFN Message Board next to the Globalists’ original letter and also resend it as widely as possible, to stir the “Sheeple” from their cosy dreams and into action, before it’stoo late:-

    Bushco raped and murdered to unpacify the Iraqi people and their neighbors. Everything he’s ever said was a lie, and everything he’s ever done is a crime. His followers have the morals of dingos. And are proving it here, right now. Bush, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao. Rightwing heroes.


  36. Brassmask from 3DHS says:

    I agree. Ronjazz and the others need to go back under whatever rock from which they came.

  44. ronjazz says:

    Brassmask, your ignorance of American law is astounding. Clinton was, of course, impeached, which means accused. he was given a Senate trial, and exonerated, of course, because the charges were irrelevant and unproveable. A Bush impeachment would have quite the opposite effect, which is why Republicans are afraid to let it happen, because they would all be caught up in the evil psychosis that now dominates that party, which places itself above the law and above the USA. Republicans should rename their party after Benedict Arnold or Aldrich Ames, since treason is their main exercise, and America their main target.

    WASHINGTON (Thomson Financial) – The US economy in the second quarter grew at the fastest pace in more than a year as core inflation rose at its slowest pace in four years, the Commerce Department reported today.

    The department estimated the economy grew at a 3.4 pct annualised rate between April and June, faster than economists were predicting.

    Hurray for Big Government! Funny how you wads can use government spending to prop up yur fantasies. hypocrites and dumb cowards, the GOP.

    jeezus h…
    almost half of the comments are posted by an idiot trooll…
    many more are useless feeder comments to keep it going…

    way to allow distraction from the subject…
    which is, to repeat:

    Amputations fuel Iraq’s health care crisis.
    The Guardian reports, “Iraq is facing a hidden healthcare and social crisis over the soaring number of amputations, largely of lower limbs, necessitated by the daily explosions and violence gripping the country.” Similarly, the level of amputations “performed by military surgeons on US troops in Iraq are twice as high as those recorded in previous wars.”

    if nothing profound and/or of relavence comes to mind,
    the silence would be much preferred,
    and much more respectable.

    please…

  78. Jackie says:

    The White House will take care of that problem. Right now the White House is cutting health care to American children and that money can go to the Iraq people for their health care. Since the troops don’t get good affordable health care that money can go to Iraq for hospitals. The White House will use the list of those countries that offered to help during the Katrina storm and ask those countries to send doctors, nurses, median and everything they offered the US that Bush would except for Blacks/poor people dying in New Orleans. American can go without health care but Iraq can’t so the taxpayers money will be used for Iraq. If Americans don’t like it tell it to some one who cares.


  79. beijair says:

    i wonder if anyone has the numbers of people that have been killed in iraq by this war? i noticed when bush was asked a few years ago, he said 30, 000 but the data didn’t match what he stated…go figure. anyway….i wonder if there is any official data on this and why bush never discusses the number of innocent that have been killed. we all know it is far more than the number he mentioned saddam killed when he ruled.

    “i wonder if anyone has the numbers of people that have been killed in iraq by this war?

    Comment by beijair — July 29, 2007″

    About 68,000.



  82. Probus says:

    It is clear that this surge has failed. Bush needs to acknowledge this and tell the truth to the American people. First the White House said that we have to wait till September now they are saying that we need to wait till November to judge the results of the surge. That is unacceptable. We have more than a 100 troops dying in Iraq every month. We can’t wait around for Bush to admit what a failure this surge has been. The high number of amputations indicate that the violence has reached high levels. The surge has made the civil war worse and has led to the increase in the casualty rates of our soldiers. Bush needs to accept reality. He needs to set a date to bring all combat troops home from Iraq.

    It was a typo on Michael’s part. He left out a zero.

    Study estimates 655,000 excess Iraqi deaths since start of war

    http://www.afsc.org/iraq/news/2006/10/study-estimates-655000-excess-iraqi.htm

    The 655k is from Oct 2006. The actual figure could indeed be 680,000 by now. For once, and only once, Michael was trying to be correct. Alas, he couldn;t even do that right.

  87. Jay Randal says:

    How would Pres. Bush handle missing an arm, or both arms, or a leg, or both legs, or his scrotum, or all of the above?


  88. The Oracle says:

    Hard-core, ultra-orthodox religious IRANIANS are probably cackling with glee at the rising amputee population in Iraq.

    For you see, in the Iran/Iraq war waged in the 1980s between Saddam Hussein and the Ayatollah Khomeini, the hard-core, ultra-orthodox religious commanders of the Iranian army press-ganged Iranian children into the Army and had them walk into front-line mine-fields roped-together to clear them.

    Thus, the Iranians had a whole lot of young Iranians, or at least those who survived this forced walk into front-line mine-fields, limping around Iran after the war. Legs blown off. Feet blown off. Arms. And a constant reminder to all moderate Iranians in the 1990s of the evil of hard-core conservatism. Thus, the moderates gained more political power while the wingnut Khomeinites were marginalized.

    And the wingnuts in the Reagan administration were supplying weapons to both sides in the Iran/Iraq 1980s war. Siding with both Saddam Hussein and the hard-core Khomeinites. Khomeinites who have once again ascended to power in Iran because of the actions of the nutty wingnuts in the Bush administration.

    Which is why I started my post with the comment about the Khomeinites clapping their hands over the reports about the rising amputee population in Iraq. Because you just know that they blamed Saddam Hussein and the Baathists for all the IRANIAN amputees, many of them children, that resulted from the Khomeinists’ mine-field clearing strategy during the 1980s Iran/Iraq war. No, no, it wasn’t the Khomeinists’ fault that so many Iranian children were maimed for life. It was the Iraqis.

    Too few people realize how the “cult of revenge” drives so much of the interaction between Iran and Iraq, Shiites and Sunnis, with our soldiers caught in the middle of a “feud” that has gone on for over a thousand years.

    Which really makes one wonder about the sanity of anyone who got us into the middle of this.


  89. MapleStreet says:

    I’m dissapointed that the referenced article didn’t go into more detail on the relative effect of the loss of limb on people’s lives in the two environments.

    While the loss of limb is a severe problem in any society which I don’t mean to minimize, if the person is a manual laborer, the loss of legs effectively removes any chance of earning a livelihood.

    OTOH, in an “information society” with skilled workers, affected persons at least have some avenue to employment in “desk jobs”.

    In short, the Iraqi economy is also saddled with a whole lot of people without any possibility of gainful employment.

    REQUIRED READING:

    WHY DO THEY HATE US?
    U.S. has chance to lessen Muslim resentment
    By Mohsin Hamid
    COMMENTARY

    LONDON — RECENTLY, I found myself in Dallas, a place I’d never been before. As a Muslim writer, I felt about going there pretty much the way an American writer might have felt about heading to the tribal areas of Pakistan: nervous, with the distinct suspicion that the locals carried guns and weren’t too fond of folks who look like me.

    So I was surprised by the extraordinary hospitality I encountered on my trip. And I still remember the politeness with which one elderly gentleman addressed me in a bookshop. He held a copy of my latest novel, “The Reluctant Fundamentalist,” and examined the face on its cover, comparing it to mine. Then, he said, nodding once as if to dip the brim of an imaginary hat: “So tell me, sir. Why do they hate us?”

    That stopped me cold. I spent almost half my life in the United States, arriving from Lahore, Pakistan, with my parents in 1974 when I was 3 after my father was accepted to a Ph.D. program at Stanford.

    I learned to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” years before I could sing the Pakistani national anthem, played baseball before I could play cricket and wrote in English before I could write in Urdu. My earliest memories are of watching “Star Trek” and “M*A*S*H” while my parents barbecued chicken in the backyard. I was an American kid, through and through. Part of me still is.

    But when I was 9, I moved back to where I came from. And because where I came from was Pakistan and I was about as all-American as a foreign-born brown boy could be, my perspective a quarter-century later on the question of why “they” hate “us” is perhaps a little more complicated than most.

    The disgraceful and tragic dirth of U.S. assistance for millions of displaced Iraqis–a result of our intervention in Iraq –almost certainly is based on the assumption that if appropriate amounts
    of humanitarian aid were provided, many more would follow, further undermining the current strategy. If I am correct regarding the rationale behind our treatment of the refugee issue, what a cruel and calculated posture this would represent–yet another new low in the U.S.-Iraq saga since 2003.

    Despair at Sayyida Zeinab: Iraqi Refugee Crisis at Crossroads

    The war in Iraq was an illegal boondoggle. Hundreds of thousands have died or been terribly injured and/or maimed. Thousands have been tortured. And, barely reported on the television screens and front-pages of America, hundreds of thousands — well over a million — refugees have fled Iraq for the dismal “safety” of refugee camps in Syria, the only country that will take in refugees from the Iraq War. Jordan, which had taken in over half a million refugees fleeing the Americans and the sectarian civil war, not to mention the criminal lawlessness that has plagued much of the country, has now closed its borders to refugees from Iraq.

  94. Master Shake says:

    Well, on balance this just goes to show that we have made tremendous advances in battlefield medicine. Most of those amputees would have likely died in previous wars.

    The bad news is that our soldiers/ their civilians are getting blown the hell up and having their lives seriously screwed up.


  95. Chocolat Jesus God Help Us into uranUs says:

    >They have a chance to chart their own destiny now;

    And if that destiny includes democractically becoming an islamic theocracy, selling all thier oil to Russian and China, allying themselves with iran, and funding and supporting supporting organizations like hamas and hezbollah with their tax dollars, you’d think thats a good thing, something its worth our soliers dying for, right? do you support the palestenians democracy?

    and care to discuss why that braindead zombie reagan didnt think iraqis needed thier own destiny? care to explain why he decided the mean nasty saddam needed to be supported and armed against the shia who are now pulling the strings in iraq?
