  Iraq - The untold story   Awaiting Review for Nickels
Tagged with:             [Post New]posted on 30 Mar 2008 19:23:56 IST    
Just saw this on digg

This is nothing like what you see in those crappy news channels which censor such news. This is a blog run by a medic currently in Iraq . He explains the tragic circumstances he has undergone during the past . This guy deserves an award for amateur journalism. You would feel like destroying the big @$$#013 who is responsible for this war, one cell at a time,after reading this.

Fast Facts:

Iraqi civilian losses: 1,400,000
Displaced Iraqis : 2,750,000
Refugees count : 4,000,000
USA soldiers killed : 4,000
USA soldiers wounded: 30,000
Journalists killed/murdered : 130

Electricity : 0 - 1 hr a day ( Before war, 17-24 hrs a day)
People without proper water supply in Iraq: 70%
Malnourished children in Iraq : 30%

Money spent by USA on this war: $800 billion (Projected)
Winner of the war : No one

The US government spent 5 years on this war, ignoring everything else, causing misery to everyone in Iraq, causing misery to their own soldiers(and their families), wasting outrageous amounts of money. The war is still going on and doesn't seem to end in 5 years. And what did they get, zero, no nuclear weapons, no weapons of mass destructions, no nothing. ( Hope they dont do the same mistake with Iran and North Korea)

One information is wrong......during the Operation Desert Storm Mission Iraqi Freedom only 150 U.S. soldiers were killed ....as a result it is also called bloodless war by the Americans.

well buddy...........those crappy news channels don't sensor these reports...actually they r so much involved in ab-ash, saif-kareena , deepika padukone (silly stuff) that they don't bother to show 'real' news. for them international news is showing a MaxX kinda tagedy video or AFV funny vids...only...better watch NDTV and CNN-IBN... they have still retained it..
