Extract According to a well-placed Pentagon source, the White House and corporate media are reporting less than half the actual American military deaths in Iraq. As of 3 February 2004, the 'official' media total stood at 528, while the real total at midnight on the same day was 1,188. This criminal discrepancy in the fatality figures is not the fault of soldiers on the ground in Iraq, but of corrupt civilians in the Pentagon working for Paul Wolfowitz Inc. The Pentagon officer explained it like this. "If a soldier is completely dismembered by a bomb, then he is dead. Likewise, if a soldier is hit by a full burst of machine-gun fire, then he also is dead. The problems start when the medic [on the ground] is not quite sure whether the injured soldier is dead or not. We all like to save life if possible, so if the medic believes there is the faintest glimmer of hope, the injured soldier is sent immediately to the nearest [medical] aid station." "The split-second that soldier is removed from contact [wherever the incident took place], he is officially listed as 'wounded', regardless of whether he then dies 3 seconds or minutes or hours or days or months later, as a direct result of injuries sustained in the contact. Deaths in transit to the U.S., or after soldiers return home are also excluded completely, or become 'accidental deaths'. This is how Wolfowitz and his people massage the figures, and how the American public is misled." Initially these comments sound suspiciously like an angry senior officer exaggerating the case in an attempt to have his unit prematurely withdrawn from the Iraqi killing fields. However, as the officer carefully went on to explain, his claims are borne out and substantiated by the very different way in which the corporate media reports civilian deaths in Iraq. |

Thanks for the info. Did you receive that anti-Semetic website address from
your Nazi newsletter...or did you just link there from an Al Sharpton webpage? http://joevialls.altermedia.info "Jim" wrote in message ... http://joevialls.altermedia.info/yourson.html Extract According to a well-placed Pentagon source, the White House and corporate media are reporting less than half the actual American military deaths in Iraq.

As a retired Army officer who happened to be taking a dump while being
quoted, I was a "well-placed" Pentagon source. The truth will out.

It is a war zone. And look at cities in the USA. http://www.safestreetsdc.com/subpages/murdercap.html Washington, DC with 600K residents had 252 murders last year. Detroit follows. And then another couple of Liberal Democrat controlled cities. |
