HORRIFIC HIDDEN US CASUALTIES OF IRAQ WARThe link below has been disabled [small wonder!] You can find lots of links to the same from 2007 if you search...I've posted one of those from 2007 after the 1st article...then an essay which brings the point home. I've got a family member being sent back to Iraq for another year's service; he joined the reserves way before 9/11 and any hint of the original invasion, after a lengthy military career, which he enered as a dumb kid just out of high school looking for a way to support his wife and coming child. The recruiter was sooo nice to show up at my parents' home to brainwash him into service!... Excuse me if I'm pissed; he's in his 40's and his family, grandchild included, need him here....MichelleHORRIFIC HIDDEN US CASUALTIES OF IRAQ WARposted on 9:44 PM, March 3, 2008

US DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS ISSUES OFFICIAL REPORT CONFIRMING 73,000 U.S. TROOPS KILLED IN IRAQ SAME GOVERNMENT AGENCY REPORT CONFIRMS 1.6 MILLION "DISABLED" BY THE WAR
From Peter Marshall E. Boomhower

George Walker Bush has presided over the worst defeat of the United States Military since Vietnam and has deliberately skewed reporting of the deaths and injuries to conceal the facts.
Department of Veteran's Affairs, in conjunction with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has released the truth because they need the American People to know our military is literally, destroyed. They cannot release these horrific numbers via the chain of command because they are under orders to conceal the truth at all costs, so they let slip a report which now cannot be "un-slipped." Here are the facts and a link to the government source to prove
these facts: More Gulf War Veterans Have Died Than Vietnam Veterans.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, May 2007, Gulf War Veterans Information System reports the following: Total U.S. Military Gulf War 1 and Gulf War 3 Deaths: 73,846
* Deaths amongst Deployed: 17,847
* Deaths amongst Non-Deployed: 55,999
Total "Undiagnosed Illness" (UDX) claims: 14,874
Total number of disability claims filed: 1,620,906
* Disability Claims amongst Deployed: 407,911
* Disability Claims amongst Non-Deployed: 1,212,995
Percentage of combat troops who filed Disability Claims 36%
Soldiers, by nature, typically don't complain. They don't want to be perceived (by idiots) as being weak, or complainers, or looking to get out of work/danger. In other words, the real impact of those who are disabled from the US invasions in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Nations, is not fully reflected in the official Veterans Affairs numbers.
Why are the government numbers of 3,777 as of 9-7-7 are so low? The answer is simple, the government does not want the 73,846 dead U.S. soldiers killed in the Gulf to date to be compared to the 55,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Vietnam, lest we all conclude Iraq = Vietnam. What the government is doing is only counting the soldiers that die in action before they can get them into a helicopter or ambulance. Any soldier who is shot but they get into a helicopter before he dies is not counted.
73,846 dead U.S. soldiers for this scale operation using weapons of mass destruction is not high -
we expect the great majority of U.S. soldiers who took part in the invasion of Iraq to die of uranium poisoning, which can take decades to kill. More than 1,820 tons (3-million, 640 thousand pounds) of radio-active nuclear waste uranium were exploded into Iraq alone in the form of armor piercing rounds and bunker busters, representing the worlds worst man made ecological disaster ever. 64 kg of uranium were used in the Hiroshima bomb. The U.S. Iraq Nuclear Holocaust represents far more than fourteen thousand Hiroshima atomic bombs.
That's 14,000.
The nuclear waste the U.S. has exploded into the Middle East will continue killing for BILLIONS of years and can wipe out more than a third of life on earth. Gulf War Veterans who have ingested the uranium will continue to die off over a number of years. From a victors perspective, above any major war in history, The Gulf War has taken the severest toll on soldiers.
So far, more than one million people have been slaughtered in the illegal invasion of Iraqi by the U.S.. This is genocide of the highest order.
Iraqi birth defects are up 600% - the same will apply to U.S. Veterans. Statistics and evidence published by the government and mainstream media in no way reflect the extreme gravity of the situation.
Those working for the government and media must wake up and take responsibility for immediately reversing this U.S. Holocaust. Understanding who is manipulating all of us is critical for all of us. For those of you who doubt the veracity of this story, who naively believe it can't be true because if it were true, you would have heard it from the government or from the main stream media, can see the proof yourselves directly from the United States Department of Veteran's Affairs web site -Source:
www1.va.gov/rac-gwvi/docs/GWVIS_May2007.pdf This story is 100% accurate. 100% true. 100% verifiable.
From the bottom of page 9:
1. The total number of service members ever identified by DoD with possible low-level chemical warfare agent exposure serving in units in the hazard areas at or near Khamisiyah, Iraq is 145,472 as of June 30, 2006.
In this report, VBA displayed compensation and pension statistics on 145,456 service members. VA and DoD have completed their fourth quarter 2006 review of service member records. However, there is a possibility of future changes, if needed, based on further review by DoD.

So the report was discussed in the April 2007 public meeting.
But no minutes published. Too hot to handle! Can imagine the massive faction fights going on.
Previous meeting's Minutes include the presentation papers.
So they couldn't publish the minutes for this meeting (and therefore the subsequent meeting also) or they'd have had to include the 2007 RAC-GWVI report. Also too damning to leave just that one out. So... they are stuck.
But someone put the report on their server anyway, just with no link from the public docs index.
And now... its out.
Lets see if this ever makes it to the mainstream media.
I've always had the impression, from comparing Iraqi Resistance reports, official Centacom bodycounts, reports of coffin numbers flown back to the USA, and assorted other indicators (including the bodycount under-reporting that is documented to have occured during the Vietnam war), that the offical figures were around a factor of ten too low.
The official bodycount is now over 4000. Hostile fire:3336, non-combat:763, Total:4099 at 20070925. See
icasualties.org/oif/Stats.aspx So at a 'lie factor' of 10 to 1, I'd have guessed the true death toll to be around 40,000.
But no! 73,846 isn't far off twice that again! So the 'lie factor' is more like 20 to 1.
Its been clear from the very begining of the occupation that they are lying. The simplest, most obvious proof is here:
www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/USfatalities.html This graph of official casualties over time is FAR too linear. Given the various factors that should be making it more uneven, such as seasonal variations of attacks, major US offensives, the 'Surge', etc. This graph demonstrates that Centacom has been manipulating the figures to keep them below an averaged rate of 'deaths per day' that they consider politically acceptable. Or at least manageable.

Remember: They Are LiarsBy William Rivers Pitt
8 April 2008
No one is such a liar as the indignant man.
- Friedrich NietzscheGeorge W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleezza Rice, along with a slew of administration underlings and a revolving-door cavalcade of brass hats from the Pentagon, have been making claims regarding Iraq for many years now.
They claimed Iraq was in possession of 26,000 liters of anthrax, "enough to kill several million people," according to a page on the White House web site titled Disarm Saddam Hussein.
They lied.They claimed Iraq was in possession of 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin.
They lied.They claimed Iraq was in possession of 500 tons, which equals 1,000,000 pounds, of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent.
They lied.They claimed Iraq was in possession of nearly 30,000 munitions capable of delivering these agents.
They lied.They claimed Iraq was in possession of several mobile biological weapons labs.
They lied.They claimed Iraq was operating an "advanced" nuclear weapons program.
They lied.They claimed Iraq had been seeking "significant quantities" of uranium from Africa for use in this "advanced" nuclear weapons program.
They lied.They claimed Iraq attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes "suitable for nuclear weapons."
They lied.They claimed America needed to invade, overthrow and occupy Iraq in order to remove this menace from our world. "It would take just one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country," went the White House line, "to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known."
They lied."Simply stated," said Dick Cheney in August of 2002, "there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction."
Liar."Right now," said George W. Bush in September of 2002, "Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of nuclear weapons."
Liar."We know for a fact," said White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer in January of 2003, "that there are weapons there."
Liar."We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction," said Colin Powell in February of 2003, "is determined to make more."
Liar."We know where they are," said Donald Rumsfeld in March of 2003. "They are in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad, and east, south, west and north somewhat."
Liar."The Iraqi people understand what this crisis is about," said Paul Wolfowitz in March of 2003. "Like the people of France in the 1940s, they view us as their hoped-for liberator."
Liar."No one ever said that we knew precisely where all of these agents were," said Condoleezza Rice in June of 2003, "where they were stored."
Liar."I have absolute confidence that there are weapons of mass destruction inside this country," said Gen. Tommy Franks in April of 2003. "Whether we will turn out, at the end of the day, to find them in one of the 2,000 or 3,000 sites we already know about or whether contact with one of these officials who we may come in contact with will tell us, 'Oh, well, there's actually another site,' and we'll find it there, I'm not sure."
Wrong."Before the war," said Gen. Michael Hagee in May of 2003, "there's no doubt in my mind that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, biological and chemical. I expected them to be found. I still expect them to be found."
Wrong."Given time," said Gen. Richard Myers in May of 2003, "given the number of prisoners now that we're interrogating, I'm confident that we're going to find weapons of mass destruction."
Wrong."Do I think we're going to find something? Yeah, I kind of do," said Maj. Gen. Keith Dayton in May of 2003, "because I think there's a lot of information out there."
Wrong.Gen. David Petraeus, commander of US forces in Iraq, is about to give testimony before the Senate regarding the current state of affairs in that battle-savaged country. He is a political general, one of many America has seen and heard over the last five years, one who would leap nude from the Capitol dome before telling the real truth about matters in Iraq ... or who would speak using words fed to him by liars, and thus be wrong.
Remember: they lie. They all lie, from the top man down to the bottom. If their lips are moving, a lie is unfolding. If they say water is wet, get into the shower to make sure.They lie.
Period.
