These cars are built with explosives and these bombs are planted under the watchful eyes of Iraqui's who dont say anything,. They allow these people to succeed with their silence. We will not win until enough Iraquis get tired of the killing and start fighting the killers themselves.

Even the KR story admitted there were issues in determining who killed who, but that didn't stop the headline writer from saying "Most civilians killed by coalition forces." There are several problems with that:

1. Determining who was killed by whom.

2. Determining who was a civilian and who was not.

3. The article said unidentified victims of terrorist bombings are OMITTED from the death tally.

4. The bodies of terrorists/insurgents are quickly claimed and buried by relatives, to avoid reprisal, so are not included in death tallies.

5. The deaths of civilians who are deliberately put at risk by the terrorists, but accidentally killed by the coalition, are blamed on the coalition.

6. Ex-Saddam flunkies are still holding key posts in the hospitals and can skew statistics to make the coalition look bad.

7. There were internal inconsistencies and ambiguities in the KR data which cast doubt on its accuracy.

Children are helpless, unarmed, easy targets, and the barbarous savages know that.

[I have an uneasy feeling they will target schools, daycares or similar here right before our election. Create a hostage situation.]

The Muslims are doing to each other. I saw a terrible - pitiful scene yesterday on Fox of a man just on the verge of a nervous breakdown (he was shaking violently) while grieving over his dead son.

The Iraqis are doing it to themselves. Why in God's name they don't root these maggots out from amongst their own flesh is a mystery to me . .

Have any of the former HUMAN SHIELDS, who went to Iraq last year because they simply loved the people, have any statement about this?

I had forgotten all about the Human Shields! You don't see them signing up to get in front of hospitals and schools now, do you?

A recent Knight Ridder article claimed most civiliam deaths are caused by coalition forces. I say that's pro-insurgent BS. Anyone have a tally?

If most of these "civilians" are males under 40, then it's BS.

I guess that ends any media belief that the insurgency has popular support.

This was timed to give Kerry ammo for the debate.

The MSM is all over this and will create a buildup for the debate.

What kind of dumbass remark is that? It certainly has no relevence to the situation at hand.

Only a fool would believe that massive force could do anything positive against a tiny minority.
