How come whenever US/British soldiers die in combat it is always “firendly fire” yet whenever Iraqi civilians die it is Saddam attacking his own people?
If I can figure out the answer, then I am pretty sure that most of the people can too.
Media war. Propaganda. Lies, lies and more lies.
And they call the war Operation Iraqi Freedom?
Waht do you expect them to say? The Iraqis are killing them!! LOL.. they may be stupid but not that stupid.
ACTUALLY its all a hoax for the domestic audience
to say that they die in friendly fire is much less painful than saying they died at the hands of iraqis
well actually it must be inscribed on thier tomb stones

Surely they don't inscribe the tombstones thus?
It's because Saddam is fighting his own people and Americans are gone their to fight British. Nobody is willing to fight each other hence the result is friendly fire.

Well these are smart bombs that UN has allowed. In that line of thinking they should be called UNsmart bombs.
Most of the times when the US war criminals have butchered Iraqi civilians they have made excuses or blamed the Iraqi's. On the rare cases where they have admitted it i.e. murdering women, children and babies they have defended such barbarity. Same is the case with "friendly fire" killings - the American military can kill civilians and always expect to get away with it.
NEVER in the history of warfare has a nation used so much care to avoid civilian casualties as has the US in this conflict. And NEVER in the history of the world, or even in one's imagination, has there been the type of precision weaponry being used by the US.

Not according to the Red Cross. Bombing market places repeatedly, and murdering women, children and babies in cold blood and then having little regret rather rubbishes your claim.
I would love to see the Red Cross or anyone else point to an armed conflict where one side worked as hard as the US has done in avoiding civilian casualties. The repeated (2?) market attacks could have very well been done by Iraq. I don't know what the Red Cross would know about the sophistication never imagined in the precisoin guided bombs however.
Red Cross should compare some other conflicts and then compare this one and they will know that America is doing its best not to target civllians.
Smart bombs may not be perfect but they are better then anything Muslims nations have.

I am sure they can point to many conflicts where women, children and babies have been murdered in cold blood by invading armies.
An Iraqi’s point of view:
We are not afraid of the American bombing. They will bomb carefully and not purposely target the people. What we are afraid of is Saddam Hussein and what he and the Baath Party will do when the war begins. But even then we want the war. It is the only way to escape our hell. Please tell them to hurry. We have been through war so many times,but this time it will give us hope.

That sums things up pretty nicely and makes you feel pretty proud.
Ofcourse…might the opinions of the christians…maybe they should move and leave the muslims alone then.
