Many
young Americans have already died in this illegal war. Their government
sent them
without adequate protection,
1
mistreated them when they returned home wounded,2
and
threatened to cut their pay.3
Their families and communities will miss them. The pain of their loss
may one day be healed. Their bodies have been brought back in
flag-draped coffins,
hidden from public view
as though there was shame in their death.4
But it is not their shame, but the shame of American leaders, military
and civilian, who betrayed their country, by their propaganda and
outright lies.
Early in the Iraq invasion,
Mazen Dana, an award-winning cameraman of
Palestinian descent, was shot by a soldier on a tank as he filmed near
Baghdad on 17 August 2003.
A US military spokesman said that the inquiry
had found troops respected their rules of engagement in the incident,
but that Washington would not publish the full report.
His brother, Nazmi, said he was
deliberately murdered for discovering mass graves of U.S. troops killed
in Iraqi resistance attacks. "Mazen told me by phone few days before his
death that he discovered a mass grave dug by U.S. troops to conceal the
bodies of their fellow comrades killed in Iraqi resistance attacks,"
Nazmi told IslamOnline.net in exclusive statements.
"He also told me that he found U.S. troops
covered in plastic bags in remote desert areas and he filmed them for a
TV program. We are pretty sure that the American forces had killed Mazen
knowingly to prevent him from airing his finding."5
In February 2004,
Joe Vialls reported that, "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 due to corrupt civilians in the Pentagon working for
Paul Wolfowitz Inc."

In April
2004 this report appeared on
Sky News and then swiftly
disappeared:
Arrogantly assuming their actions would not be noticed [or could not
be countered] by the Republic Guard, a few thousand U.S. Marines
with battle tanks and other armor approached the 300,000 residents
of Fallujah from the east and the west, drawn from existing Marine
bases in Ar Ramadi and Baghdad. This was an inexcusably stupid
tactical error, because as soon as the U.S. Marines closed on
Fallujah and started shelling the unarmed women and children within,
Republican Guard Special Forces units carried out lightning strikes
on the weakened Marine bases in Ar Ramadi and Western Baghdad,
destroying fuel dumps and killing 130 Americans in less than 12
hours.7
In December 2003,
Captain Eric Holmes May published
Ghost Troop, 3/7 Cavalry,
describing the strange reporting and lack of reporting about the fall
of Baghdad. US troops were being attacked and all the media could talk
about was Private Jessica Lynch and, soon after, the photo-op mock
demonstration of Iraqis "pulling down" Saddam's statue. The
misdirection worked like a charm few asked any questions. Many troops
were killed by the Iraqi Republican Guard but Americans were not told.8
Now
finally there is evidence of the most grisly cover-up in US military
history.
Al-Basrah.net reports that eye witnesses in Falluja have claimed this
morning (Wednesday, September 22) that some civilians have detected a
mass grave in the north western sector of the city containing the bodies
of sixteen people of foreign appearance.
The witnesses have informed the correspondent of the German News Agency
that the inhabitants of that area have detected a grave this morning at
11 a.m. local time which contained the dead bodies of 16 foreigners who
have recently been killed and probably belong to American soldiers who
were buried in
a
ditch in the North West sector of the city.
The witnesses have clarified that the identity of the dead bodies which
were hitherto remained unidentified, were found to be dressed in dresses
similar to those worn by local Fallujans. The style of their haircut
indicated that the dead were military personnel and the color of the
hair and the face appearances suggested that they were foreigners.
The way by which these people were killed is so far unclear. An eye
witness has said that the grave was detected when the local people have
smelled a bad odor in the surrounding which urged them to dig up the
place in order to reveal the source of the unpleasant smells.
The witnesses have also added that the local police have arrived to the
scene and have prevented the civilians and journalist from approaching
the grave and photographing the dead bodies.

Another
mass grave
found in Ramadi earlier this year
This statement by the Iraqi Islamic
Army.
Baghdad - Iraq on the 7th of March
2004. The photos were taken in the province of Ramadi, Iraq at a site
that belongs to the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture and was used until the
end of January 2004 by the U.S. occupation forces as a military base.
Due to the continuous attacks by the Iraqi Resistance, the enemy troops
were forced to leave. on the 20th of February a scouting group visited
the site and
it's surrounding area to confirm the
lack of enemy activity in this area. During the mission the personnel
noticed a lot of dogs & wolves in this desolate area digging and
sniffing the grounds.
After a closer look, tracks & markings of heavy
vehicles were discovered along with trenches and digging area that were
left unattended. Further exploration of the site revealed the infamous
black body bags that we in Iraq have heard so many rumors about. In
these bags we found the dead bodies or body parts of dead soldiers who
died as a result of direct hits to the head and chest areas by bullets
or shrapnel. These bodies have been buried for a few months only, and
are definitely soldiers who belong to the occupying forces. They are
soldiers who have been stripped of all
their
clothes and IDs. in order to avoid their identification if discovered. A
large number of bodies have been discovered and have been removed from
the sites where they were found and relocated to places only known to
our active personnel. These bodies have been relocated for the sole
purpose of uncovering the mass deception and lies that the U.S.
administration & the British government have carried out since the
beginning of this conflict. These bodies will be handed over to the Red
Cross at the suitable time in order to be returned to their families for
proper burial. The above statement is being released by the Iraqi
Islamic Army, one of the active factions that are resisting the
occupying forces led by the United States & Britain. Further information will be
released at the appropriate time.

Even if the American Forces of Terror
wanted to hide facts and
manipulate the truth, there are certain unavoidable issues that
have to be dealt with. The
human losses that are recorded are the following:
-
The forces killed in front of people in public.
-
The ones killed in front of media representatives.
-
The bodies that take longer to be transferred and spend time in front of
other troops.
All the rest of the casualties and declared injuries are dealt with in
the following way:
-
They are first transferred to medical centers governed and protected by
military intelligence and their colleagues are told that the injuries
are serious or dangerous.
-
The bodies are secretly transferred to Germany or Qatar or another
country in which they have a base and are frozen.
-
According to strict measures, the soldiers are forbidden to speak about
their colleagues to their families or the family of the dead or injured
troops. Their letters and emails are subjected to strict surveillance
and censoring, as is any internet correspondence.
-
In some cases, where it is too complicated to transfer the body to
Germany or Qatar , the military administration sees the necessity of
declaring that the body was found in a river or was exposed to a heart
attack and hence is not considered a war loss.
-
In cases where the dead soldier is a non-American casualty (green card
applicants), the body is merely thrown into a mass grave inside one of
the American camps.
There are other ways for the declaration of casualties without declaring
war losses which include:
-
Drowning in the river.
-
Injury and death by fire.
-
Death by car accident.
-
Death by fever or unknown disease.
-
Death by a stroke during sleep.
What is missing now is the proof of these
theories and some proof has been found by our brothers at one of the
sites. They located a mass grave in a camp field that the American
soldiers left during a swift withdrawal from the area as a result of the
anger of the people. They left the graves without being able to bombard
them or hide them and you can see the pictures here.
Telling Lies and False Statements
translation from video from Iraqi
Resistance
Why don't they tell in honest way the
miserable status of US occupation solders? Brave Iraqi resistance
fighters are hunting occupation solders and their machinery on daily
bases while the occupation administration is only showing misleading
pictures to cover up their political scandals. Occupation solders can
only move in groups in fear of resistance attacks.
Yet no one has admitted or announced the true fate of the dead American
solders.
Lately, reports from all over the homeland tell about US planes that
throw black and white bags over rivers and deserts. In the meantime,
continuous daily resistance attacks on an area in the west of Iraq have
forced the US occupation troops to flee that area which contains several
mass graves for American dead solders. The occupiers have used heavy
machines to make mass graves where dead solders were quickly buried. The
mass graves area has attracted stray animals and they ate some of the
bodies, which were partly buried. Hence, body parts and bones are spread
all over the desert.
Anyway, many of these bodies were collected from different areas in
Iraq. The majority of the dead bodies were of white skin and tall
solders. Those solders were killed in Iraq and were not in anyway
involved in making the decision to come to Iraq and be killed there. In
addition the dead bodies were put in bags that are only used by the US
army. The bodies will be delivered to the Iraqi Red Crescent or the Red
Cross or any organization that respects its mission. These mass graves
are an honest proof of the occupiers' lies to hide the number of dead
solders and where they're about. These pictures are just of some of the
unknown number of dead American solders. Now we are challenging the
criminals of war and the occupiers to explain to the families who lost
their sons for the occupation of Iraq whether their sons will be
returned home, be buried in Iraq, or be thrown to the dogs to eat them.
Now do we have proof of the mass graves that Mazen
Dana photographed before his death? Do we have an explanation for the
discrepancy in fatalities Joe Vialls reported? Perhaps so. Only a
thorough INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION can provide definitive answers. We
cannot expect the Pentagon to investigate itself.
We have other questions to consider as well. Is this
the way Americans expect their war dead to be treated? Is this
disrespect for the dead related to the careless attitude of not
providing adequate body armor? Who are our leaders that can so
cavalierly send young American men and women off to war with such
ringing oratory and patriotic fervor and then leave them behind to rot
in the desert? If this is how they treat the "nation's finest", how then
do they view you and me? Do you wish for your son or daughter to be
buried in an unmarked mass grave in a distant land? What are they trying
to hide from us? If this is their attitude toward an American life, how
easy would it be to murder 3,000 people on 9-11?
Much has been made of the glory and honor of serving
and defending one's nation and the responsibility of never leaving a
warrior behind. That must have been another day and another generation
of leaders. Consider what lies ahead if these people continue to lead
us.

The Detection of Sixteen Dead Bodies in A mass
Grave in Falluja
22 September 2004


The world gets crazier and crazier everyday, doesn't it? The world that many
of us thought was there, isn't. The bottom has dropped out of everything. The
illusions have been revealed, we have found out who has been pulling the strings
behind the scenes. Millions have lost their jobs, have mortgage
problems, credit card issues, credit repair problems and
foreclosure. What can be
done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that we can control
government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel
Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years
ago. He said, "Permit
me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its
laws." Get
the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system.
It's all about 'commerce'. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for
each individual. Not only does this end
personal debt, it places the people first in line
as creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for
you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in A
New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles, an informational study. Is
your credit rating bad for reasons that seem out of your control? There are
ways of credit repair,
so you can men those broken fences too. Do you want to keep your children protected
from outside forces, there are ways of protecting
your children. Do you want
to keep your sons and daughters free from 'the draft'? Check this out.
