N.O.R.F Posted April 5, 2003 i found this in the independent (sat) and hits the nail pretty much on the head with regards this lastest US aggression! 130,000 Britihs and American troops are in action in iraq from a total force of 250,000 in the gulf. the allies have launched 725 tomahawk cruise missiles, flown 18000 sorties, dropped 50 cluster bombs and discharged 12,000 precision guided munitions. there have been an estimated 1,252 iraqi civilian deaths, 57 kurdish deaths and 5,103 civilian injuries. 88 allied troops have been killed in the conflict, 27 of whom are british. at least 12 allied soldiers are missing, 34 allied soldiers have been killed in 'freindly fire', 9 journalists have been killed or missing, there have been 2 suicide attacka on US troops killing 7 soldiers, 8,023 iraqi combatants have been taken prisoner of war, 0 WMD have been found, 1,500,0000 people in iraq have no access to clean water. 200,000 children in iraq are at the risk of death from diarrhoea, 17,000,000 are reliant on food aid, which has now been stopped, 600 oil wells and refineries are now under british and US control, 80Bn dollars has been set aside by US Congress to meet the cost of the war. a capital city of 5million people now stands between the allied forces and their no 1 objective: the removal of saddma hussien!
