Why do you say we will kill tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians?

Let's see. What do you think happened in the Gulf War (and there US forces did not even attempt to seize Bagdad)???

35,000 civilians dead. 100,000 soldiers dead. 300,000 soldiers wounded (think bloody arms and legs flying hither and yon).

You see, when I say tens of thousands, I was actually being optimistic.

There were very few innocent civilians accidentally killed in Afghanistan by our troops.

More than 3,000 civilians died in Afghanistan as a result of the US operation. That is equal to the number of people who perished in the WTC tragedy.
