I'll say that. These are the people who want to exercise their liberties, but won't lift a finger to protect and defend them. Moral infants would be a good name for them.

Man i've read a lot of posts from u, and let me just say, you're starting to piss me off. Are you a robot?!?!? You use the equivilent of name calling to distract from the real issues. You think that having the balls to go out and f_____ march and show that you actually believe in something and that you are not happy with the status quo government bs,... you think that that is not protecting and defending liberty. Well let me tell you something buddy, you better reorganize your definition of liberty, cause from here it seems like your's def. is "liberty: the right to do what big brother tells me". seriously DenY IgnorancE and STUPIDITY...whoops did i say that...yes i did anyways...

Do you mean those 500,000 demonstrators in New York last weekend are Anti-US?

I am not Anti-US or Anti US People. But I am 100% anti-US foreign policy. I am 100% anti-US invasion and occupation of Iraq. US should withdraw immediately from Iraq for its own seek.

500,000 people where do you get your numbers? And most of those protestors were hooligans who disrupted civilized operations of a city and vandalizing things.

We had the same thing in Australia, all these rent a crowd mob turning up to protest. Plenty of Lebanese gang members turned up and started destroying the place, useless. We even had school kids bludging school to attend, when some of them were interviewed they knew nothing about the issues, it was astounding. just shows there are plenty of idiots out there.

Independent reporter Fisk once reportedseveral incidents he himself witnessed were never reported ny any media (except Markat-e-Islam).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American soldiers who returned from the war themsleves spoken severe condition and unlimited casulties, then never reported.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I personally worked with a company who wanted to hire security personals from UK for one project in far east. I am witnessed personal talk between the our president and president of the security company saying, we have lost large amount of security personals in Iraq, that is why they have shortage. What I learn from my colleage that out of 900 went to iraq, only 300 servived, rest are either in the hospital bed for rest of their life and sent to hell fire. Now this security company pulled out of Iraq.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During my trip to Canada (for technology fair), I came across with Candian Militray booth. I became friendly and heard that one of their person came from Afghanistan. I asked about situation in Afganistan, he was laughing at US, how they are struggling in Afghanistan. Accordign to his opinion, combine forces in Afganistan have lost almost 30 to 40 percent of their men and women either dead or injured.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Austrailian soldier said in an interview with Radio Germany Colonya, about 1800 coalition troops were landed in Tora Bora and hardly few survived and he is one of the lucky one. He said he will never fight for US ever, since they are selfish and did not provide air cover, inspite of B52 circling overhead, and let us die. I have seen many of my firends deid of severly injured and no help came for two days. (Actually, it wasn;t US fault � ALLAH SWT has disconnected all their communications and B52 pilot was in impression that coalition militray is killing the enemy, but infact, brave freedom fighters were slaughtering Kafir invaders.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS lovers, war is not hockey, football or baseball game. it's reality and fighting with Forces of Allah is not fun nor easy. Yes! 128 US soldier did killed in 2 day and I have 2 million % believe in it.

----------
Above is a comment of above Reports by MastanaMahi, who first reported the Abram attack video on CTV. It is everyone's decision on what to believe.

how is this 100% true ??? That is no more accurate that saying you are 100% communist. neither statement has anything to back it up ?

The statement above is completely false, if this Aussie soldier had said these things, it would.ve been on the front page news in Australia. As it turns out absolutely nothing has been mentianed
zcheng you really should check your facts before posting this BS, PLEASE - its making you look stupid.

The "Tokyo Rose" of ATS...Gotta love him/her!

Now, now zcheng. Have you already forgotten me? Of course there is such a thing as 'guerilla war'. The difference between guerilla war and terrorism is that in guerilla warfare, you actually attack the enemy you allege to be fighting. With terrorist warfare, you attack the very weakest of people, people who have nothing to do with "the occupation".

Your "freedom fighters" are kidnapping unarmed, non-combatant engineers, technicians, truck drivers, translators, etc. These people are not there to fight, they don't even have guns. The vast majority of these people they're butchering are there to help rebuild the country, to make a better life for free Iraqis. Your "freedom fighters" would rather see Iraq devolve into a bunch of starving savages, acting only on the whim of some ass-backwards, scraggly-beard-wearing, pasty-faced, sunken-eyed mullah who can't take care of his own teeth, much less a country full of civilized people.

You speak of the pride of preserving China's "territorial integrity" by invading another soverign nation because you view them as a "rogue province", yet curse America for toppling a mad dictator? You know nothing of honor, zcheng. Tell me, do you consider kidnapping an unarmed civillian and beheading them on TV because you're at war with someone else an honorable act? Is planting a bomb in a public roadway an honorable act? Do you realize your "freedom fighters" have killed more innocent Iraqis than they have their alleged enemies? Is this something that they should be proud of?

A lie does not become truth simply because you can state a time and place that the fictional event occurred. The men and women fighting in Iraq are our friends and family. If the numbers your sources claim were actually being killed, I assure you that we would know. Whenever one of our soldiers dies, their entire community is aware of it. Our soldiers do not simply "disappear" without question. Our military is fighting so that a nation can be free, a noble cause that we are willing to die for, if need be. You dare compare this pursuit to your intentions of militarily conquering a soverign nation in the name of it being a "rogue province"? The difference is, we're fighting so a country can be free, not so a country can be brought under our rule. We do not want to make Iraq another U.S. state, unlike your intentions on Taiwan.

Ask the people of Taiwan if they are a free nation, or just a "rogue province". If they are no more than a rogue province who really wants reunification, then why do you think they're arming themselves to the teeth to fight back? I don't recall ever hearing about any Taiwanese diplomats petitioning China for reunification, do you?

You bring us this propoganda in the name of 'denying ignorance', zcheng, yet you do not ask any questions that might disagree with the point of view that you've been force-fed all of your life. Your "junior communist's handbook" cannot give you the answers you seek, only the answers they want you to believe. I don't believe you are unintelligent by any means, zcheng, only misguided.

Most of those people are there in Iraq to help the Coalition not the Iraqi people working as truck drivers, spyies, snipers, etc., they sold their life to invaders, and are enemies of Iraqi people. They deserve what they got. Iraqi Resistance had long warmed all foreigners should leave Iraq.

Yes, they are Arab freedom fighters of Iraqi people, they are same as those joined Resistance in Afganistan against Soviet Union. At that time, Osama Bin Laden were recognized as freedom fighter and supported by US and the West, while now they are called terrorists.

The situation in the city had become extremely grave as US aircraft crisscross the skies in large numbers, suggesting that coming hours will see a major escalation of the US aggression.

Minarets in the city are broadcasting the call Allahu Akbar! God is greatest!, a practice they have come to undertake when US bombardments are at their height in order to provide some comfort and solace to the population under the American bombs. At the moment of writing, the correspondent reported that the thunder of explosions was mixed with the undaunted chanting from the minarets.

Ahmad al-�Ani was the seventh correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam to die under enemy fire since the US invasion of Iraq in spring 2003.

In 2 days, Centcom say 5 dead troops. Above report said to have killed 161 US troops, plus 10 British.

Everyone knows that fighting is intense in Iraq. You choose what to believe. I heard that Rumsfield said that US will withdraw before peace is in Iraq. He obviously knows the heat from Iraqi Resistance.

Rumsfeld Suggests US Could Begin Iraq Troop Withdrawal Before Peace
AFP: 9/24/2004

WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (AFP) - The United States could begin to withdraw troops from Iraq before the country is at peace, US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld suggested Friday after meeting Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi.

"Any implication that that place has to be peaceful and perfect before we can reduce coalition and US forces would obviously be, I think, unwise because it has never been peaceful and perfect, and it isn`t likely to be," Rumsfeld said.

Rumsfeld`s comments were in jarring contrast to President George W. Bush`s vow to "stay the course" in Iraq as well as the administration`s broader effort to portray the situation in Iraq as one of steady progress despite an onslaught of insurgent violence.

cnn reported an average of 100 attacks a day on us forces.we only get minimal coverage of 1 or 2 a day.its not to hard to figure that american casualties are much higher than are being reported.add the massive callups of national guard and reservists the transfer of troops from germany and korea,the stoploss orders,ordering troops to reenlist and the discovery of mass graves near ramadi and fallujah,its not to hard to figure that the pentagon is lowballing the casualties.

Austrailian soldier said in an interview with Radio Germany Colonya, about 1800 coalition troops were landed in Tora Bora and hardly few survived and he is one of the lucky one. He said he will never fight for US ever, since they are selfish and did not provide air cover, inspite of B52 circling overhead, and let us die. I have seen many of my firends deid of severly injured and no help came for two days. (Actually, it wasn;t US fault � ALLAH SWT has disconnected all their communications and B52 pilot was in impression that coalition militray is killing the enemy, but infact, brave freedom fighters were slaughtering Kafir invaders.


I would just like to say this is a bogus ad. I worked around B-52's for a few years and they can not supply cover fire. They are bombers. Which means xchencjhue (or whatever your name is) if the B-52 did try to supply cover fire then it would have killed all of the Austrailans. Come on now, common sense!!!

I think he as a soldier knew US airplanes above, and should of course provide cover for them. He might not thought if B52 dropped a bomb, all would be dead.

Above post was not written by me, I just copied from another forum and think might provide some light in the "Fog of War".

Following is reported by Canadian Guest on 25.09.2004 [21:54 ]

Interesting article today "1 out of 5 got head injuries" posted in yahoo this morning: 10,000 troops went to Germany as they qualify as SERIOUSLY WOUNDED! Meaning not all of the wounded soldiers go to Germany i.e. the 30,000 is quite credible with 15,000 probably crippled for life. The other interesting fact is that 1 out 5 arriving in Germany sufered HEAD - NECK - BACK INJURIES (emergency landing perhaps?) Again, using the current Pentagon "1 killed/8 wounded ratio" the USA must have got killed between 2,000 and 4,000 soldiers as a MINIMUM. If the Vietnam ratio is used i.e. "1 to 4" (less advanced protection and medical helpwa used) then it would be between 3,500 and 7,500 as minimum!! I think, the real number is between the two extremes i.e. around 4,750 because the weapons and explosives used today are far more potent than those used during Vietnam era!
