Re: horrific hidden us casualties of iraq war
Thank you for posting this as the information IS
hard to find. It seems truth is also a major victim
of the Iraq war also. The numbers offered up by the
Government only show that there is one official
death every 4 days of a 5 year war. Most likely the
true figures of death on all sides will never be
known. Include too those that come home and suffer
the repercussions of war and depleted uranium and
the picture is very grim.
This is a link to Bush's press secretary's take on
Bush's push to war which will also be very telling~~
since it speaks to Bush's motives. Here is a Bush
quote~~
"only a wartime president is likely to achieve greatness"

The casualties of this war are also more severe and
mentally damaging. I hope that awareness of these
issues do become more widespread and that our military
are able to get the help they need. We saw so many
veterans of our Vietnam generation swept under bridges
and rugs and so hopefully the upcoming administration
will recognize the travesty being committed by the
current one and work to remedy the neglect of our
military.
I also pray that Bush does not engage us in another
war, at the behest of Israel come August if not sooner,
in Iran....
blessings,
