Interesting. Does anyone know the orders that were given to our troops to kill men, women, and children?
He gave te order to invade Iraq.. Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed in the Xfire...
Seems pretty simple to me... Don't know why you can't grasp the fact that we've accidently killed civilians.....
How many of these 100,000 were killed by Terrorists? I'm willing to bet that 95%+ of that 100,000 is by the enemy. Somehow that ends up being GWB's orders?
According to this site, the max is clost to 45K

This site says 100,000 Iraqi's have been killed, but doesn't make the distinction between Iraqi's killed by Coalition Forces and/or Terrorists. It does; however, estimate that around 10,000 were killed during 'shock and awe' alone.

This is not acceptable either way, but this represents quite a different view than Sheehan tells.
Here you can find a document where the names and reasons these civilians died. (up-to-date as of 2/06)

If you review the list, you'll see the overwhelming causes are gunfire and bombs. Neither of which indicate if it was caused by Coalition Troops or Terrorists.
So GWB orded the deaths of 100,000 innocent people, no, not quite Ms. Sheehan.
Retrospectively, we've done much better in this war with civilian casualties than we have in the past, but we still have a long way to go.
