Iraqi Civilian Deaths ... caused by Bush's unprovoked war

 

Saddam statue destruction was a carefully staged Pentagon media event



The area above circled in red is where U.S. Marines, the press, and a small number of Iraqis gathered to pull down the statue of Saddam Hussein. No more that 150 people were involved. The plaza was empty and sealed off by the Marines. It all occurred just opposite the Palestine Hotel where the international media are based. This was a carefully staged media event. The pro-American Iraqis involved were members of Ahmed Chalabi's Free Iraqi Forces Militia, which was recently flown into Iraq by the Pentagon. The toppling of the statue was promoted as a massive uprising ... does this event look massive to you?
