| There is no clean war except in medias dressing |
| 10.29.04 (6:36 am) [edit] |
Today it is announced that according to a study there would be
"100,000 Excess Civilian Iraqi Deaths Since War"
from reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?storyID=6648908

So people would of course think Bush is incapable of a "clean" war like clinton. Well it seems that the cleaness of Clinton War is only based on virtuality and lie by omission because the mainstream medias "forgot" to report this study at the time it was published:
[from commondreams.org/views03/0420-05.htm]

"The Unthinkable is Becoming Normal. Do Not Forget the Horror "
"A study released just before Christmas 1991 by the Medical Educational Trust revealed that more 200,000 Iraqi men, women and children were killed or died as a direct result of the American-led attack. This was barely reported, and the homicidal nature of the "war'' never entered public consciousness in this country, let alone America. "
[...]
"The Pentagon's deliberate destruction of Iraq's civilian infrastructure, such as power sources and water and sewage plants, together with the imposition of an embargo as barbaric as a medieval siege, produced a degree of suffering never fully comprehended in the West. Documented evidence was available, volumes of it; by the late 1990s, more than 6,000 infants were dying every month, and the two senior United Nations officials responsible for humanitarian relief in Iraq, Denis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck, resigned, protesting the embargo's hidden agenda. Halliday called it "genocide".
"As of last July, the United States, backed by the Blair government, was wilfully blocking humanitarian supplies worth $5.4bn, everything from vaccines and plasma bags to simple painkillers, all of which Iraq had paid for and the Security Council had approved. "
