I saw a video clip online of a group of Iraqi being bombed by a US aircraft. In addition, I read that some of the Iraqi were bombed, tortured, and killed over little things and necessarities.
Also, had some of the US troops died from disease, besides combat and other causes?

dude the media only shows a small fraction of all the hell going on over their. and pictures don't lie, (although I'm sure someone will argue all these deaths on TV are being performed by liberal actors....)

I am not going to lie but majority of the stuff that is broadcasted over most of the news channels is democratically biased therefore it is the bad stuff that is happening over there. I work for a company that has a contract with the government to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan. We get the occasional email concerning what has been accomplished there. The living conditions have improved immensely. There is running water to most areas and the female population for once has a choice of what they want to do and where. I would continue but the Iraq civilian population is living much better now than they were. What most people don't realize is this battle against terrorizm was not going to be an overnight was like Desert Storm. It will take time.

The clip you describe is the only thing the US media seems to report. As far as US troop deaths, the total from ALL causes is less than the murder rate in many US cities.

The US media in general wont as its bias and very right wing pro bush it will lie to the extent of inventing the story. watch outfoxed if you don't believe me.
Try the BBC ABC (Australian broadcasting company not that American one) they both give you alot more accurate coverage with no lies and cover ups.

No. The US media will not show the very bad OR the very good. They just churn out the same soft story garbage over and over again and maintain the status quo. It you want "real" news then seek out people in country... soldiers, contractors, citizens, etc.
