Since the invasion of Iraq three years ago, the US military has lost more than 2,300 troops in combat, roadside explosions, insurgent attacks and friendly fire. But that figure is dwarfed by estimates for the number of Iraqis killed, which range from a conservative 30,000 to a more speculative 100,000. As many as 50 people are killed every day. Britain has lost 103 soldiers in Iraq, while other nations together have lost 94 troops. But the cost of war has not just been measured in human terms. There is the financial cost. The US is still spending $6bn (£3.5bn) a month in Iraq, primarily on the 130,000 troops it still maintains in the country.
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
This is a sad story of destruction based on wrong assumptions. I don't think this is war against terror. Its imperialism's new face...
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
Bring em on..... ohhhhhh welcome vietnam..
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
Finally it was Vietnam, which suffered big time...
Who will support insurgents this time.......
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
Yeah vietnam did suffer after terrorist killed 4M innocent civilians.... But their blood was not in vain, The terrorist ran with its tail between the legs, Never will the terrorist ever kill another innocent civilian NEVER be it Vietnam or NK.....NEVER will the terrorist kill again in that part of the world.. Foam at mouth, yes but never kill...
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
You think so... You can call them terrorist. They dont' need Vietnam today or they will be back..........
Its all economics, or political requirements......
They don't take decisions based on emotions or passion as may be you are feeling at blatant colonialism of Iraq and Afghanistan...
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
Stick to the point, any one who kills innocent civilians is a terrorist.. I trust you do know the number of innocent killed by the terrorist... NO......How about trying to librate vietnam and NK again..NO.... hurts too much...
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
This is interesting, I am with you that US has invaded Iraq wrongly. All I said you can call the terrorists ( or occupying forces) or whatever..
Point is simple, if you want to stop them, only way to stop is that it doesn’t have Return on Investment they are making in Iraq.
I see with amusement that in your emotional imbalance you are not even able to see, who is on your side of the argument…
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
yeah, i agree with you rahul.. but then why did pakistan offered their assistance to US. US had always praised Pak as loyal ally in their war against terror. Had the pakistan refused the logistic assistance to US troops, it was far more difficult- near impossible for US to target afghanistan.
when soviets was in afghanistan ,US helped taliban to fight soviet troops. When terror strikes US 9/11, suddenly they turn against them. Both the time pakistan help them...where is pakistan's place.....just a loyal ally in whatever US do???? irrespective of it is right or wrong. That's why, world don't trust pakistan including US, as they don't have definate foriegn policy
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
Yep,
Foreign policies in evolving Nation States have shifted from friends to benefit at the given time...
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
The only way to stop terrorist in their tracks is to follow the policies of shri Ho Chi Minh or Shri Kim Jong Ill… They are extremly effective but the only problem is you have an acute comprehension problem and you will continue to waste bandwidth…
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
Taliban were more like pitbulls for Pak and US. They were fed milk and honey as long as they served the purpose. Unfortunately the pitbulls tried to bite the Pakistani hands that had fed them. Result?
Shoot the damn pitbull.
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
So Osama is the terrorist won't you agree?
BTW, uniformed folks are the militarymen or policemen. That is why Arabs of Zarqavi or osama style are called terrorists. As long as NK keeps its military in uniform, they won't be called terrorists.
Bottom line, tell Osama to be a man, wear a uniform, and then fight like a soldier. Hiding behind women and children, sleeping in $hitebag caves doesn't make you a honorable fighter.
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
Instead of beat around the bush aunty bulbul why don’t you help your amreekan master librate NK or Vietnam one more time… Does it hurts too much? Don’t worry this time 4 footers will rape the scums that will put 50s and 60s to shame… Do you want to take the lead aunty bulbul? may be you will know the oriental hospitality first hand just like your master did… Try it and see the wonders of swinging chappal.
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
Vietnam now works for Walmart so there is no need to liberate that basket case of a country. What the commies of Vietnam or China are doing now i.e. serving Walmart will soon be done by other commies like the ones in NK.
So calm down O desi-kim-kim. You will soon get a job with Walmart. They need some more shoemakers.
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
Refusal to call Osama a terrorist is baffling and amusing........... :D
Re: Happy 3 year anniversay of Iraq invasion
Dear aunty bulbul wall mart maul mart is beside the point now, the fact of the matter is that no wall mart shall mart can undo what shri Ho Chi Minh did or What Shri Kim did to the terrorist… The terrorist were raped like never in known histroy… Now the question is would you care to liberate NK or Vietnam one more time or are you gona sit here and foam at mouth like usual… Does it hurt too much, is it something like once raped twice shy…
