#2 The violent deaths recorded in the leather ledger at the Sheik Omar Clinic come from only one of Iraq's 18 provinces and do not cover people who died in such flashpoint cities as Najaf, Karbala, Fallujah, Tikrit and Ramadi.

Well it looks like those numbers could be doubled!!
For everyone of the US Soliders that died, 600 of them died?
I am impressed. Those idiots should point the bad guys out more and there would be a lot less blood shed don't you think.

My grandfather a veteran of ww2 said during the end of that war Jap's would come down from the Phlip mountains and try all kinds of stuff. The Phlips would just point the Jap's out and the GI Joe's would kill them no questions asked. Weeks later just before the end of the war, they would walk out of the jungles with their weapons in the surrender position and there hands on their heads.
Knowing GI Joe was no one to fuck with.
The Phlips knew it and the Jap's learned about it.

#3 "Most remaining international aid agencies in Iraq are expected to pull out following the kidnapping of two Italian humanitarian workers..."

Who can blame 'em? We need to go mediaeval on the hostage-takers and their shelterers.

Contrast this with the current obsession with "sensitivity" toward Iraqi "culture".

It's no wonder that we're having difficulties.
