Number One Suppressed Story of 2009 — Hey wait, wasn’t Obama supposed to end this war right away. “You can take it to the bank?”
Over one million Iraqis have met violent deaths as a result of the 2003 invasion, according to a study conducted by the prestigious British polling group, Opinion Research Business (ORB). These numbers suggest that the invasion and occupation of Iraq rivals the mass killings of the last century—the human toll exceeds the 800,000 to 900,000 believed killed in the Rwandan genocide in 1994, and is approaching the number (1.7 million) who died in Cambodia’s infamous “Killing Fields” during the Khmer Rouge era of the 1970s.
ORB’s research covered fifteen of Iraq’s eighteen provinces. Those not covered include two of Iraq’s more volatile regions—Kerbala and Anbar—and the northern province of Arbil, where local authorities refused them a permit to work. In face-to-face interviews with 2,414 adults, the poll found that more than one in five respondents had had at least one death in their household as a result of the conflict, as opposed to natural cause.
We’re number one! Let the International trials begin!
These are old stories, a year old in fact. I read about the million deaths in Iraq when Bush was in office.
Is this list the censored stories of 2008?
Hey I was right, I think you wanted this one John:
Top 10 Censored Stories of 2010
The first rule of war propaganda is to de-humanize your opponent.
I’m sure that this polling group failed to report that most of the deaths were the result of Muslim on Muslim tribal attacks.
How can we forget the wave of Muslim suicide bombers entering the Iraq from Syria and Iran. You remember those guys blowing themselves up in market places taking out hundreds at a time.
Don’t you just hate a censored story about censored stories.
OTOH – just think how much closer to peace we would be if McBush was elected?
Yeah, right.
Bush, Obama, McCaine, Jay Leno, Gomer Pyle, Chauncy Gardener…
You want change, then stop voting for R or D…
BOTH are in the same bed, and they are fucking US!
We are SO overdue for a revolution, and we need to rise up and slay the evil empire from within!
You think Islam wants war with america, but the politicals are just using it and TWAT to keep the focus off washington and their antics. Already, all our major manufacturing jobs have gone over seas, and our wages are falling due to a created depression, and our surplus male population is being sent to TWAT for extermination, just as Viet Nam was a way to create new wealth for the politicals.
Remember ALGORE? He is famous for GORETEX, that wonderful water repellent cloth developed in the seventies, thanks to the war, and paid for by the government/PEOPLE… He made BILLIONSD on it! And now he says WE are responsible for polution and global warming and want MORE MONEY!!!
WADA YA SAY??? KILL EM ALL!!!
“Hey wait, wasn’t Obama supposed to end this war right away.”
No, and he never claimed he would. The number he was throwing around during the campaign was 16 months (and he even hedged on that a few times). Let’s emphasize that: *during the campaign* he couldn’t even over promise on a date we *still* have yet to reach.
The numbers of both liberal and conservative people who didn’t have a clue about what Obama was actually campaigning on astounds me to this day.
I think it just goes to show that perception is determined by a preconceived narrative more often than reality.
What a transparent government. I can definitively see the change.
Change we can all believe in.
“The Secretary (Hillary Clinton) is a member of the President’s Cabinet and the highest-ranking cabinet secretary both in line of succession and order of precedence.”
Do you know who preceeds Clinton in the line of succession?
I always thought the Secretary of State followed the Vice President.
My dentist was an Iraqi exile, who returned to Iraq after GWB’s “Mission Accomplished” speech, and hasn’t been seen or heard from ever since.
Obama is no different than Bush.
Please. Take off your blinders. Look at all of the facts, all the promises made and broken.
What we have here is a posting of questionable validity as to “causation.” The numbers could be but are not necessarily inflated as well. Do they include death by starvation or water impurity “caused by” the USA or its Allies, or not?
When this slippery banana can be your launching pad, your landing (conclusions!) will not be sure.

Look it up on YouTube.. “If the war isn’t over by the time I am in office it is the first thing I will do, you can take it to the bank..” (I am paraphrasing).
This is a list of the current presidential line of succession:
# Office Current Officer
1 Vice President Joe Biden
2 Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi
3 President pro tempore of the Senate Robert Byrd
4 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
To all those that said Bush and Gore “are both the same” back in 2001… Well over a million would disagree.
If they could.
you can bet if a Republican was in office we’d be hearing a lot more bad news about the war, casualties, etc. But because the media has an invested interest seeing Obumble succeed, they will go out of their way to limit bad news that would make Obama look like the incompetent fool we all know he is.
#16 Oh, please God, don’t let anything happen to Obama!
Dodd says: How can we forget the wave of Muslim suicide bombers entering the Iraq from Syria and Iran. You remember those guys blowing themselves up in market places taking out hundreds at a time.
I don’t know about the “million” thing, but you’re right about a lot of those deaths. Couple questions for you though…how often did these incursions occur pre-war? How many people would Saddam have killed between 2003 and today had we not invaded?
I’m thinking answers like never, and something around 5,000.
