More Than 2,000 Killed in Fallujah
More than 2,000 people have been killed so far in the U.S.-Iraqi operation against the former insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, an Iraqi official said Thursday.

But Qassem Dawoud, the government's national security adviser, gave no breakdown of deaths among U.S. troops, Iraqi forces, insurgents and civilians. As of Thursday, the death toll was more than 2,085. He also said more than 1,600 people have been arrested, Dawoud told reporters.

U.S. officials had said 54 U.S. soldiers and Marines were killed in the offensive that began Nov. 8. Troops still are fighting small pockets of insurgents holding out in southern parts of the city.

Motherfucking mass-murderers destroying a nation to save it. Do you think that same theory applies in the homeland? :grr:

6. U right - This is mass murder and that's what america wants
Bush knows damn well half of america thinks the iraqis were involved in 9-11 and want to see all 26 million iraqis killed. This is how bush survived the abu ghraib prison scandal too. Killing and maiming and torturing iraqis sends his approval numbers up.
