My comments: Dear readers and fellow-Apes; all of the above are true and, I must admit, painful and depressing, BUT! They are also absolutely unavoidable! Highly typical of The MMMMMMMMMMM-Media to dwell on and wallow in the shit and mud of the dead and the maimed in Iraq in order to fill their pages and air-time, but fail to mention the dead and maimed in the very home-lands of The US of AAAA - The United States of Adamant Asinine Ass-hole America - and the above-mentioned countries read my postings: see below!
3,996 dead! Why, these are fewer than those that died on 9/11alone! And 29,395 wounded and/or maimed! Why, these are fewer than those that were wounded and maimed for life on 9/11 alone; not to mention those that were later wounded and/or maimed for life physically or mentally - traumatized! I here mention Poland that lost 21, and remind the Polish Pole-heads that Poland was the first country to go under Hitler’s Nazis’ heels and that Hitler and his Nazis were nothing compared to what The USA and its allies are facing today.
In order not to repeat myself, I cordially invite you - dear readers and fellow-Apes - to read my postings titled:
