BBC News uses 'Iraq photo to illustrate Syrian massacre'

[Supreme American]

Nope, the death toll of Iraqi people has been passed over a million since 2003.

I'd like to see where you got that figure from. That country only has some 16 million people.

According to the survey done in 2006, the death toll was over 650.000. It should have been over a million by now because even in one suicide bomb attack, more than 60 Iraqis dies.

Most of it is all faked. False propaganda.

the Syrian free(fake) army uses all kinds of photographs, from Iraq, turkey, Hell even pictures and movieclips from the Mexican drugwars, all to claim for their very own.. Fucking clowns!

90% of the clips/pics are all acted, staged, stolen material.

What I see are claims with no sources behind them on that page.

The Lancet surveys are controversial because their mortality figures are higher than most other reports, including those of the Iraqi Health Ministry and the United Nations, as well as other household surveys such as the Iraq Living Conditions Survey and the Iraq Family Health Survey. The 2007 ORB survey of Iraq War casualties estimated more deaths than the Lancet due to the interval between surveys but is otherwise consistent with the Lancet findings.[5] Out of all the Iraqi casualty surveys so far, only the Lancet surveys and the Iraq Family Health Survey were peer-reviewed. The Lancet surveys have triggered criticism and disbelief from some journalists, governments, the Iraq Body Count project, some epidemiologists and statisticians and others, but have also been supported by some journalists, governments, epidemiologists and statisticians.[6]

Sounds like a higher figure than most. For years they were/are circulating leftist-originated figures claiming 1 million had already died by the late 1990s from the war and sanctions. This million seems to keep shifting around or something. This reminds me of how they reduced the death count at Auschwitz from 4 million to 1 million, yet the 6 million figure remains.

I wonder when Americans will start to realize not to believe everything told to them on tvs?

The figure is said to be closer to 160,000, and that includes people who have died from all violence, even criminal cases. I'm not totally dismissing the possibility the number could be higher though.

The American invasion in 2003 was unjust and driven mainly by Israel, but the deaths before that were well over one million, because of Saddam Hussein's reckless decisions. Invading Iran, invading Kuwait, then the brutal crackdowns internally. Also the unjust decisions by the US and the UN.

More Iraqis died from the UN embargo of the 1990s following the first gulf war, than died during the American invasion and occupation since 2003. As many as 600,000 died from lack of food and medicine in the 1990s.

Madeline Kikebright lobbied hard for an invasion of Iraq in 1998. She also advised Senator Hillary Clinton to vote giving Bush authority to invade Iraq, now the bitch gets a Medal of Freedom Award.



She's done a lot more evil shit, but I'd need to start a new thread about it.

That is true. A million has a much bigger propaganda impact than one hundred or two hundred thousand, but still, a lot of Iraqis died.
The American media said 500,000 Iraqi children died in the 1990s from the embargo against Iraq. Remember, this was a pro-Clinton media with no reason to exaggerate the numbers.
