U.S. killing more civilians

[kigango123]

With over 24,000 civilians killed in iraq in 2006 alone, the u.s just had to "kill the muslim infidels" abit more. on wednesday this week about 50 confirmed and more unnaccounted casualties were made in somalia as a result of an american endevour to "combat terrorisim" for one major Al quida kill they slaughtered 50 people.

Wtf people!, damn americans need to butt out, ethiopia was handling the campaighn fine till the u.s had to push the air strike through. i can imagine being gunned down by a mother@#&%ing gattling gun just beacuse
some ****ing muslim religious mother@$%er is in the village.
jeez

Personally I think that the US has done so much damage there now that if they pull out now, it'd be too dangerous for the US. So they have to stay there to cover their butts. I think. On that note, suicide bombers I dont understand. *Just how I see it.

As shitty as it is, it's just a fact of war. World War II had a civilian death count more than 50% that of the soldier death count, same with Vietnam and many other wars. It's hard to fight in a country and avoid civilian deaths; however I do believe the US could do a slightly better job.

I'm not trying to sound like a huge US sympathizer, but it can be difficult in Iraq with "soldiers" who dress like civilians, and the possibility that any average looking person could be carrying a bomb or weapon. They don't really follow any rules over there.

so you just go around shooting unarmed civilian beacuse it might be an infidel
or even better shoot a five year old boy with nothing but a shirt on(no pants)
with a gattling gun from an aeroplane beacuse he might be carring a concealed weapon.

I serously do not give a **** about iraq, but somalia! , What weapons of mass destruction are you going to find there, " ohh, the boy was carrying a bottle but i thought it was a molotov cocktail!." damn americans should get out of africa

I didn't say that's what should be done, and yes Somalia was a poor example of how to go about things (my response was more to the Iraq death toll he mentioned).

Let me put it in other words,
Iraqi civillian death tolls were 8 times the amount of american soldier casualties.
That means each and every soldier killed got eight civillians to die with him, accident or not! America is one selfish country.


Word!

Yes you do go around shooting people. Survival is the fact of life and to succeed you have to be alive and not dead. If i had to kill a kid to save my life or my family i would do it in a second. Why? Because I'd rather live then get blown up. Which is why i like all of you self righteous pacifists who think war is the last straw. It always is for you people. So thanks you can be fodder while i am trying to survive. If you want to give your life for someone else buy your ass a damn plane ticket, fly over to somalia and stand there while you get shot and bombed. One less fuctard i have to read a post by who figured out how to use the damn internet.

And you know what? I''m glad we are going to get oil from iraq now. That means my country can keep running and moving along like it should. So say what you want but that oil is your life line just as much as it is mine. If you don't like how the ocuntry operates vote or leave!!

He isn't need; he'll only make things worse.

Pure, blind, hypocritical nationalism.

right, we voted and we got outvoted through questionable means. oh well.

War IS the last straw. It's eating up our budget and deepening our debt.

However, I don't feel emotion for those people who bitch that their soldier son/friend died, because, hey- they signed the contract, we didn't lie, they chose to join the Army to defend the nation.

Be careful fellow fuctards

You are advised to use caution before proffering negative comment on America's inalienable self-right to attack & destroy whomever it wants, whenever it decides, wherever it wishes, for whatever reason it chooses

To do so may be taken as deep personal insult by our overlords, attracting slurs of perpertrating anti-Americanism or, horror of horors, being un-American

So many people still don't know that most - (I don't know the percentage offhand) - oil imported into the U.S. comes from Alberta, Canada .... maybe I should build a bombshelter. .... and the second biggest importer is Mexico, Third is Saudi Arabia.

neither did I but here is a link that proves it. On the other hand Canadian imports from abroad have to compensate for the absence of oil in the Eastern parts of the country....

Read the book "Black Hawk Down" and you might understand. The people in Somalia literally just stand around, there is a guy with a machine gun standing next to his wife and kids shooting at you, what do you do? Do you just let your self or your men get killed because "Oh no God forbid we kill a civilian"

How do you think WWII was won? You think bombing the bejeezus out of Germany didn't kill some non-Nazis? You think the war with Japan would have ended in the manner it did without dropping the A-bomb and killing literally hundreds of thousands of innocent people? No. Its just a fact of war, all lives are precious but THIS IS WAR! It isn't fair, it isn't neat and planned, its just the way life in war is.
