665,000 dead iraqi civillians?

Question

Guess what percent of those were killed by the coalition forces in military action?

Answer 1

I heard somewhere around 30%. The rest have been killed by terrorists.

Answer 2

I hear that these 665,000 dead Iraqi civilians were killed by other Iraqis, for example they were men learning to be policemen, so the other Iraqis killed them. Also there is a lot of insurgence happening in Iraq, as well as road side bombing and suicide bombing by cars. There are also Iraqi "death squads" that kill their own country men. There is also a battle between the Sunnis and the Shiite Muslims, so they kill each other as well. Plus there is the influence of Al Queda, and they are training more young men for battle in Iraq and else where. Many other muslims or radicals or insurgents infiltrate the Iraqi borders to get in, to fight the war against the coalition and the Iraqis. At the beginning of all this they used to show how the people were beheaded. The people in Iraq also killed other Muslims, something, I, as a non-muslim don't understand. I feel everything in Iraq is going crazy, but lately more death squads killing Iraqis and the insurgents do it too. So I believe that the coalition is after all these people who are killing the innocent Iraqis, not really sure, since everything is classified. But that si what I have been reading in the news and what I have seen on television.

Answer 3

In the first place, the figure is suspect. If the total casualties were 100 a day across the country, every day, that would be fewer than 200,000 in five years, and the news reports suggest that the average is less than that. In the second place, the percentage killed by other Iraqis (or aliens who have sneaked into the country and joined the insurgency) is high and increasing -- fewer and fewer people are being killed by coalition troops. None of this, unfortunately, is very helpful toward figuring out how to untangle this mess. I think that the Administration has the right plan, but unfortunately so do the insurgents: to discourage Americans into pulling out so that the bad guys can have free rein.

Answer 4

Almost none since even the Iraqi government says that is a hugely overinflated number of deaths. Of those who died most were killed by insurgents, car bombs, suicide bombs & etc. According to UN interview with
NY Times, the average of Iraqi civilian deaths a year is 17,776 for a total of 53,328. Where the other 612,000 came from no one has an answer for - was the UN wrong in August 2006 or is someone trying to tip elections?

Answer 5

I posted it in an other answer a day or two ago.. Was something like 42,000 and something I think. I know it was over 40K. S about 8 % maybe?

I have found that 600K number before but it must have been retracted because I can't find it again. Might have been a miss print and should have been 66,500.

Answer 6

If you ACTUALLY read the study, the margin of error is between 400,00 and 800,000. For the kids out there - that means the number is totally unreliable. Estimates before this "study" have been between 40 - 60,000 civilian deaths.

Please don't read everything you read, have some independent thinking...

Answer 7

That number is wrong. Do the math and you'll come up with at least 500 people being killed everyday. Find a reputable source which shows 500 people being killed in one day...

Answer 8

Who came up with that 665,000 figure? I keep seeing and hearing it, but I can't find any corroboration, did someone just make it up for propaganda purposes? If so, it's really working. Can anyone cite a verifiable source for those casualty figures, preferably more than one?

Answer 9

What percent of those dead Iraqi's were insergents? What percent were terrorists and how many iniccent people would have been killed if the insergents were NOT KILLED?
thats my point.

Answer 10

No, the Iraq invasion replaced into an act of terrorism dedicated by technique of the Bush/Cheney administration, turning u . s . a . of america right into a terrorist united states, unhappy to say. there replaced into NO justification for those deaths nor for the deaths of very nearly 5000 of our troops, because Saddam Hussein had not in any respect once attacked the U.S. and, in truth, were our greatest buddy in the region until eventually the Bush/Quayle administration necessary a improve in the political polls throughout Bush Sr.'s marketing campaign adversarial to bill Clinton and Ross Perot, the position Bush Sr., former head of the CIA, replaced into trailing badly. So he hires himself a Washington DC-depending publicity agency, Hill & Knowlton (uncovered on "60 minutes" after the faked "motives" given for beginning the Gulf conflict), to paint Saddam Hussein as a villain with propaganda. Bush Jr. and Cheney kept this similar PR agency on $three hundred,000 retainer ("The Rachel Maddow tutor" and Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" on MSNBC, yet also Rossi, 2005). Rumsfeld's inexcusable "fundamentalist psycho/pseudo-christian" spin using protection branch letterhead might want to be entered as data adversarial to the finished Bush/Cheney regime at a UN-convened conflict Crimes Tribunal for Crimes adversarial to Humanity and for attempting to annihilate Muslims in a fervor of cult-"Christian" fanaticism that had worked its way into the better echelons of our authorities (in violation of our structure) and our military (Antoon, 2007). I despaired for my cherished united states the day Bush/Cheney invaded Iraq.

Answer 11

first- that was an incorrect number according to us forces.it was brought to our attention by the liberal media trying to make us feel bad about bush and the war
second-majority of those iraqis being killed are by their own people
