The
Bush Butcher’s Bill:
Officially, 72 US Military
Deaths in Iraq from 1 through 19 August, 2005 – Official
Total of 1,978 US Dead to date
(and rising)
U.S.
Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to
German hospitals have very rarely been counted. They total about
6,210 as of 1 January, 2005. The ongoing, underreporting of the dead
in Iraq, is not accurate. The DoD is deliberately reducing the
figures. A review of many foreign news sites show that actual deaths
are far higher than the newly reduced ones.
Iraqi civilian casualties are never reported but
International Red Cross, Red Crescent and UN figures indicate that
as of 1 January 2005, the numbers are just under 100,000.
by
Brian Harring, Domestic Intelligence Reporter brianharring@yahoo.com
Note:
There is excellent reason to believe that the Department of Defense
is deliberately not reporting a significant number of the
dead in Iraq. We have received copies of manifests from the MATS
that show far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than are reported
officially. The educated rumor is that the actual death toll is in
excess of 7,000. Given the officially acknowledged number of
over 15,000 seriously wounded (and a published total of 25,000
wounded overall,), this elevated death toll is far more realistic
than the current 1,800+ now being officially published. When our
research is complete, and watertight, we will publish the results
along with the sources In addition to the evident falsification of
the death rolls, at least 5,500 American military personnel have
deserted, most in Ireland but more have escaped to Canada and
other European countries, none of whom are inclined to cooperate
with vengeful American authorities. (See TBR News of 18 February for
full coverage on the mass desertions) This means that of the 158,000
U.S. military shipped to Iraq, 26,000 deserted, were killed
or seriously wounded. The DoD lists currently being very quietly
circulated indicate almost 9,000 dead, over 16,000
seriously wounded (This figure is now over 24,000 Ed) and
a large number of suicides, forced hospitalization for ongoing drug
usage and sales, murder of Iraqi civilians and fellow soldiers,
rapes, courts martial and so on –
I
have a copy of the official DoD Army/Iraq casualty list. I am
alphabetizing it with the reported date of death following. TBR will
post this list and when this is circulated widely by veteran groups
and other concerned sites, if people who do not see their loved
one’s names, are requested to inform their Congressman, their
local paper, us and other concerned people as soon as possible.
The government gets away with these huge lies because they
claim, falsely, that only soldiers actually killed on the ground in
Iraq are reported. The dying and critically wounded are listed as en
route to military hospitals outside of the country and not
reported on the daily postings. Anyone who dies just as the
transport takes off from the Baghdad airport is not listed and
neither are those who die in the US military hospitals. Their
families are certainly notified that their son, husband, brother or
lover was dead and the bodies, or what is left of them
(refrigeration is very bad in Iraq what with constant power outages)
are shipped home, to Dover AFB. This, we note, was the overall
policy until very recently. Since it became well known that many had
died at Landstuhl, in Germany, the DoD began to list a very few
soldiers who had died at other non-theater locations. These numbers
are only for show and are pathetically small in relationship to the
actual figures (which we are now publishing.) You ought to realize
that President Bush personally ordered that no pictures be taken of
the coffined and flag-draped dead under any circumstances. He claims
that this is to comfort the bereaved relatives but is designed to
keep the huge number of arriving bodies secret. Any civilian, or
military personnel, taking pictures will be jailed at once and
prosecuted. Bush has never attended any kind of a memorial service
for his dead soldiers and never will. He is terrified some parent
might curse him in front of the press or, worse, attack him. As Bush
is a coward and in denial, this is not a surprise.
Haven’t we had enough of this?
(According
to our email, 95% of our viewers’ responses to Mr. Harring’s
explosive investigations have commented that they have certainly had
enough. We have also been flooded with additions to the casualty
lists that have to be carefully checked before a future posting.

The mass graves for unreported dead GIs in
Iraq finally uncovered
AFP- There
has been a total news blackout on the exhumation of mass graves of
unreported U.S. military dead in areas of western Iraq.
US
military aircraft flew over these areas and tossed out large numbers
of black and white composition bags over that area which contains
several mass graves for American dead soldiers.. These bodies were
buried after fierce fighting in the area and not, as often stated,
listed in the DoD daily casualty lists or considered for shipment
back to the United States. Mortuary facilities in occupied Iraq are
very poor, or non-existent, and far more of the dead are simply
buried where they fell rather than attempting to ship the remains
back to Baghdad for proper burial procedures. Under the prevailing
conditions, embalming is impossible and refrigerated storage
non-existent.
U.S.
forces used heavy earth-moving equipment to prepare mass graves
where dead soldiers were quickly buried because the high
temperatures caused rapid decay. These mass grave areas had
subsequently attracted stray dogs and they quickly dug up and ate
some of the bodies, which were only partly, or lightly buried.
Hence, body parts and bones were spread all over the desert.
The
bodies, or what was left of them, were later all exhumed by U.S.
units and put into the official body bags for eventual shipment to
the Dover AFB. There exist a number of photographs of this gruesome
activity, taken by foreign journalists, but the majority of them
have been seized and redacted by Military Police acting on specific
orders from the Department of Defense.
Note:
Readers wishing to see dozens of such pictures in addition to many
official papers concerning the faked death lists are requested to
contact: Jack Steinhilper at jsteinhilper@mindspring.com
Comment:
There is additional information that would indicate that local
Iraqis, outraged by their perceptions that American troops
slaughtered civilians and desecrated mosques, have dug up and
brutally mutilated many bodies, displaying body parts as trophies of
their grisly hunts. There are color pictures of such things but
sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof and we decline to
publish the majority of these.

The
Full, Official U.S. Army Iraqi Casualty list, Alphabetized
This is a fully alphabetized list of the official
number of U.S. Army dead in Iraq from the beginning of the Iraqi war
through June 6, 2005.
There are many more deaths that have not
appeared on the official lists because the DoD has taken the tricky
tack of loading dying and probable fatalities onto aircraft and
flying them out of Iraq to bases and hospitals outside of that
country. So, if a GI is dying or has every expectation of dying, he
or she is loaded on an aircraft and their subsequent deaths are not
publicly reported as “Combat Deaths.” Of course the families or
survivors are certainly notified of the death but the public is not.
The purpose of publishing this alphabetical name
list (which I will update monthly) is to encourage the families and
friends of survivors to contact us with the names of these
unreported casualties.
We suggest supplying the name, rank and unit of the
individual as well as contact information for verification.
We have encountered serious objections to our
publishing the original DoD pdf file that lists the actual dead,
injured, deserters and so on so we are getting around this by
publishing the original cover page and then reformatting the
information contained inside the cover.
Because there are over a hundred pages of the dead
alone, this project will take some time because I am doing it
myself, without any assistance and please do not volunteer to assist
me.
And to those who keep writing to me in care of TBR
News wanting to know my name and address “so they can help me”
or “because if you don’t give me your name, SS number and
address, I just can’t believe a word you say.” I can tell you
that I have been around the academic world long enough to have
learned not to give away my lengthy research to someone eager to get
the credit, and the money, for my work.
They say that for an academic (or any writer for
that matter) to steal from one person is plagiarism while stealing
from many (like the late Steven Ambrose) is really research.
And yes, I am working on a book and yes, I have a publisher
so be good enough to bug off and do your own work.
As far as the demanders of my name and address are
concerned, go spy on your neighbors and then run, panting, to the
FBI to get your plastic G-Man pin and tin toy badge. Or better
still, stick your head in a chipper and turn it on.
And to the hysterical bloggers who claim I don’t
exist or are made out of paper, I wish you would stop babbling
because I laugh so hard I get a stricture. A word of advice to same:
Take your Midol like good little girls and kiss the rabbit
goodnight. Since I put up my email address, I have received an
amazing amount of hate mail from deluded, dimbulb Bush supporters
and jealous, illiterate bloggers. I am sure the writers feel that
they have really put me in my place but all of these pathetic emails
are filled with obscene phrases, learned from their mothers, and
terrible spelling. Always remember that it is the kicked dog that
yelps. One of my co-workers said, in reading over the daily garbage,
that the writers were brainless …holes but I corrected him. While
they do not have actual brains, they do have knots on the top of
their spinal columns to prevent their flabby asses from falling onto
the sidewalk..
To
date (9 August, 2005) we have received, and verified,
67 names of dead GIs that somehow never made it onto
any Pentagon casualty list. We have received another 132
names which either cannot be verified to our satisfaction or are
obvious plants intended to deceive. The DoD and its friends are
neither particularly subtle or intelligent.

The U.S. Department of Defense
Casualty Statistics-
I
have put together a comprehensive analysis of the Iraqi War
casualties from the beginning of the war in March of 2003 and
continuing through the occupation and resistance to date.. I show a
chronology supported with documents of the official death lists, and the then the official Supplemental List
of the actual
deaths and injuries from the DoD The actual death tolls are far in excess of the
official ones posted by the DoD. They have initially not publicly reported any
deaths outside the theater of operations, i.e., hospital deaths at
Walter Reed, Landstuhl in Germany and so on., however, with
increasing negative publicity, the DoD is now including a very few
names of military personnel who have died in hospital out of
theater. Not good enough, dudes!
