16 US troops commit suicide in Iraq
Press TV
Monday, Sept 8, 2008
Sixteen US troops from the 57th Unit of the Airborne Division have committed suicide inside a military base in Iraq, security sources say.
Iraqi security sources have revealed that 21 US troops had committed suicide inside a former Iraqi air force base 27 days ago, Fars News Agency reported on Monday.
According to the sources, the 21 troops were treated in a hospital but only five soldiers have survived and they are in a critical condition. Security officials said they used potent narcotics to kill themselves.
(Article continues below)
The troops’ motivations for suicide are not known but according to Iraqi sources the servicemen belonged to the 57th Unit of the US Airborne Division that was behind the massacre of several Iraqi families– mostly women and children– in northern Baghdad, said Ali al-Baghdadi an Iraqi security official.
The suicides took place in the soldiers’ dormitory after the dinner time.
“The bodies of the US troops became misshapen such a way that they looked like 5000-year mummies,” said a witness.
According to Iraqi officials’ estimates, some 600 US troops, including senior officers, have committed suicide in Iraq since the invasion of the country in 2003. Half of the suicide attempts have been successful.

Suicide or suicided?
September 8th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Bullshit. They looked like mummies? Narcotics won’t make you shrivel up. Chemical weapons can or an experiment on them perhaps with some new weapon?
September 8th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
potent narcotics to kill themselves were did they get the drugs I think it shows that the Americans troops need mental health care Bush and the war pigs have alot of blood on their hands
September 8th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Yea Right….There probably testing some experimental drug on them that cuases suicide.
September 8th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
You know, the saddest thing is that there are actually Americans who will accept this as truth. Nothing to see here folks, we’ll now return you to “American Idol.”
September 8th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Whether they actually committed suicide or were “suicided” by others, the fact remains that this is way too high a death toll for even the corporate-controlled “news” media to report on only once and then pretend never happened.
It’s very unlikely–almost to the point of being a virtual impossibility–that *that* many troops would jointly commit suicide without *someone* within that group alerting a friend or family member as to the reason for the group’s decision.
Thus, if no authentic suicide message surfaces, then that will certainly strengthen the possibility that there was foul play involved, and that everyone who knew these troops were intimidated into silence.
September 8th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Suicided to keep their mouths shut about being ORDERED to kill innocent civilians in northern Baghdad.
21 soldiers don’t just commit suicide. Especially after supper.
September 8th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
This should be Mainstream News! This is a hugely important event.
September 8th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Yeah the misshapen mummy part is a dead givaway.
September 8th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
They were probably suicided to shut them up about the massacres of those Iraq families so that the info about whom gave the order or where it originated would be buried right with them. DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 8th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
ether they did that because they felt guilty or because they didnt try to kill themselves and will be killed later.
September 8th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Publishing this story doesn’t reflect well on infowars’ credibility. It looks like you just rehashed some Islamic propaganda.

sotos, this reaction on your part won’t reflect well upon *your* credibility if this turns out to be true, and it likely is true, given that Iraq — unlike Iran — is U.S. occupied terrority!
The only “propaganda” that generally comes from there is of the FOX “News” variety:

Very very curious. A whole troop of soldiers committing mass suicide? What is the army now, a cult? I doubt it. This report reeks of foul play. Perhaps the soldiers were preparing to go public about the illegal actions they have been ordered to carry out. Can’t have that, better to just suicide them.
September 8th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
sotos- This story is a little more proof that the war in Iraq is unjustified and the toll on our soldiers and the entire country is not worth golding on to another one of our puppet governments. It is sad that these guys/gals were subjected to inhumane orders that led to murder of innocent people, and even worse that these things continue.
On a second note I think its wacky that they attempted a mass suicide, this sounds fishy that they acted together. My paranoid/skeptic mind tells me that it quite possibly may be mass poisoning by?? Maybe they knew too much.
September 8th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
To sotos, saying infowars has “rehashed some islamic propaganda” by publishing this story is wrong. I think this story further proves how bad things are going over there and the effects of war on our young service men and women. Publishing this story only proves that we need to get our men out of there quicker.
September 8th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
spread the fears
this is math impossible
god bless those souls
god bless ours also
September 8th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Sotos wouldn’t know credibility if it fell on his head.
He does know however, A LOT about hash.

I think things going on and decisions being made, I think it’s FUBAR.

I had a feeling this would happen and I’m afraid we may see alot more of it. Young servicemen caught up in the frenzy of war. You see this in people sometimes, in riots for example. You saw it in school when someone was singled out and bullied and others rallied behind the bully out of fear of being his next victim. They were trained to do these things and trained to believe they were doing the right thing and then the conscience reluctantly surfaces at what they have done. They feel anger first, shame and then helplessness. They feel they have no recourse. That is what this government has ‘done to them’ but in the end WE CHOOSE. We make our own decisions to fit in by bending our standards. In the end we know, it was our choice. It was no one else that could have made us do what we’ve done if it was not in us to do in the first place. I expect more of this. I expect too that as the truth surfaces and as we come to realize that we are indeed all one on this planet that many will choose to lay down their arms and refuse to be a part of the problem no matter what the consequences are. That would be an honor to witness.
This is their lesson. This is their expression of “free will” whether the choice is right or wrong in the eyes of others.
We ALL have a choice…the choice to kill and abuse and judge or the challenge to uphold truth and love regardless of the cost. Many more will awaken to this truth very soon. How they respond is again “free will”. IN THE END….WE DECIDE.

In June 1778, after his protégé Lafayette helped to bring about a French alliance to balance the strategic equation, Washington’s plan to cut off British forces under their new commander Clinton, retreating from Philadelphia to New York, failed because of behaviour akin to treachery by Charles Lee at Monmouth Courthouse. This was one of the very few occasions where Washington was seen to lose his legendary self-control, and Lee came close to being suspended not only from command, but from the neck as well.
With Clinton bottled up in New York it was patience that brought the war to a successful conclusion: patience with dilatory French assistance; patience with an army that mutinied twice; patience with a Congress that demanded but did not provide; patience while Greene lost the battles but won the war in the south; patience that was at last rewarded when the French navy briefly won control of the sea around Yorktown, enabling Washington to deliver the coup de grâce.
There being little dispute that his austerity and personal modesty put an abiding stamp on the quasi-monarchical office of president, created with him very much in mind, criticism of him tends to focus on his military leadership. All that needs to be said in rebuttal is that he won, and it is unlikely that anyone else could have maintained unity of purpose among the secessionists, during a very protracted struggle. One has only to compare his performance to that of the similarly situated Davis in 1861-5 to see how easily sectional interests could have prevailed, and doomed the rebellion.
By refusing to serve more than two terms, he set an example followed by all his successors save Franklin Roosevelt, and since 1951 enshrined in the 22nd amendment to the Constitution. George III observed that his retirement and his resignation as army C-in-C fourteen years earlier ‘placed him in a light the most distinguished character of the age’. Upon his death, Congress unanimously voted his memory the eloquent encomium proposed by ‘Light Horse Harry’ Lee (father of Robert E. Lee and not to be confused with Charles of that ilk): ‘first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen’.
LMAO@Clinton bottled up in New York

Traditional definitions of bullying (Olweus,1992) and our definition (Twemlow, Sacco, and Williams 1996) need extension. We have called bullying “the exposure of an individual, over and over again, to negative interactions on the part of one or more dominant persons, who gain in some way from the discomfort of the victims” (p. 297). Such an individualized definition does not sufficiently emphasize two important features of bullying: (1) the nature of gain by the bully; and (2) the role-interdependent natures of the bully, victim, and bystander.

you guys must wake the fuck up
you need look into the evidences… what hell is this 5000 years old mummies looks like?
wtc 7 fire demolition?
look the evidences wake the fuck up.
September 8th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
This does seem very strange. 21 soldiers getting together and deciding to kill themselves? There has to be more to this story. The 5000 year-old Mummy thing is weird too. If you overdose on narcotics you go to sleep and die–you don’t shrivel up like a mummy.
I wonder what the five guys who lived will say about this.
September 8th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
What if they put on a war and nobody showed up? I think it would be great if using the internet, a worldwide peoples movement was started in which people no longer tolerate war.
If each individual could pledge to simply refuse to participate, there would be no wars. Make it so unacceptable to become a soldier that war is eliminated. After all, the people who start the wars are never the ones to pay the price. It’s the common man who pays, it’s the common man who agrees to join an army, usually for the wrong reasons.
Consider the waste of war. All the resources and human lives and to what end? To destroy and waste. The more intelligent a society is, the less energy they expend on war. No sane human being wants to go to war. Anyone anywhere in the world who puts on a uniform or participates in war in anyway, arms manufacuring, etc. Should be looked down upon as subhuman filth. It’s not honorable or courageous or proud. It’s a bunch of idiots who all think they are “doing the right thing” by agreeing to kill human, beings regardless of what side they are on. Soldiers are never the ones who organize or initiate wars, they are simply foolish and willing pawns who would rather kill than get a real job. Look what their decision gets them and brings into the world. Murder, destruction, mental torment. Perhaps one day the internet will cross enough barriers and allow enough worldwide communications amongst people to allow them to agree to stop participating in the madness. Call me an unrealistic dreamer, it has to start somewhere.
September 8th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
We need to email this article to our respected reps in Congress and DEMAND they hold a hearing and witnesses Under Oath!
The truth of this must be put out into the public domain for all to see. Something has occured that smells to high heaven and it ain’t good.The Pentagon is becoming just another corrupt self serving beauracrcy and if there are individuals inside that ordered this, then there needs to be prosecutions and sentences handed down.
Things are getting worse every day and it seems that our nation is heading full speed into a brick wall.
September 8th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
young kids seeing and doing things humans shoudn’t.
Get them home or send more bodybags.
September 8th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Who’s to say someone wasn’t testing out a new weapon?
September 8th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
those poor souls. their parents probably sent them off cause they wanted to get high and not deal with them. im angry, i am so fucking angry. good thing im 6 foot 5 and built full of muscle cause the baby boomers any anyone else who supports evil is gonna get a nice bonk on the head when they get close
September 8th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
misshapen, 5000-year old mummies? What sort of narcotic does that? This was not suicide in my opinion.
September 8th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
I don’t buy it either. Mass suicide? Yeah right.
September 8th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Yes parkker a “worldwide peoples movement was started in which people no longer tolerate war”. That is an excellent idea and has got to be the future my friend. Otherwise i fear we would have completely failed as a human species.
September 8th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
This was not a mass suicide. This was damage control.
September 8th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
(1) the nature of gain by the bully
There is nothing to be gained by bullying. That is the lesson.
September 8th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
Zionists probably killed them to keep them quite about war crimes atrocities they were ordered to carry out for Israel.
September 8th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Ok, what the f*ck !!!!!!!!!!!! I’m no expert but I don’t think in order to look like a 5000 year old mummy you take massive amounts of pills. That sounds more like either they were dead for awhile in the dry climate of Iraq, or they were poisoned in some way (maybe a venomus bite). Either way it does not sound like suicide. But of course we’ll never know.
September 8th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Mass suicide…Bodies that looked like mummies…The same unit that was involved in some heavy shit…US ARMY UNIT MASS SUICIDE!?!?
See…i don’t have TV, and i don’t get to read the paper too often. Please tell me that this is in “main stream media”.
Please tell me that people are not ignoring this.
THIS IS NOT A NORMAL THING TO HAPPEN TO ANY GROUP, LET ALONE YOUNG AMERICAN SOLDIERS!!!
What if this happened at your job? Your kid’s school?
I am starting to think that people just don’t think anymore.
How can 21 US Soldiers attempt suicide, 16 actually die, and this not become a HUGE rally point to bring these guys home??
So…today i learned that if you and a group of associates take some powerful narcotics, most of you will die, and look like mummies. I guess tomorrow i find out if our media thinks that we should know about this.
Boy…waking up is hard to do…
September 8th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Justin,
If the “mainstream” media don’t report it, it didn’t happen.
September 8th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
what the hell did they serve for dinner?

Parker…you must understand that these young people have been trained this way. Not just in the army…but from birth. Most americans don’t realize that they are living in a socialist state. They are taught to go to school, not be truant. They are taught to learn to labour for the rest of their natural lives. If they are fortunate they may find some rest after age 65. But throughout their whole lives who do they work for? Themselves? no…they work for the government..
Where more than 50 percent of their wages go to a government …
You have been brainwashed..
You are not independent and neither are the sons that go to war..
You work for the state…it’s that simple…
Keep singing the pledge though…they want you to get that..
America..America..blah blah blah…
It’s time to wake up…wake up sleepy head
September 8th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
It only takes one to start a war..
It only takes one to stand up and end it..
Think about how you were…how you felt in the school yard when you or someone else was being victimized…
think!
If two had been united against the ‘one’ it would have ended there..
but out of fear you did nothing…
It’s time to let the fear go..
feel the power of your spirit..
unite and stand together…
don’t fight…just stand…
LISTEN TO ME…
When you oppose something it becomes stronger…
When you look at the police or the army that means to corral you you instinctivly fight back..
it’s natural for them to do the same….
It is human nature…
Let the spirit drive you…
Let the spirit act out of love and acceptance for what these people have been taught…
Do you…anyone of you think…that if you offered a hand to those that seem to oppose you that you would be opposed?
It can’t happen!!!
every action requires an equal and opposing reaction…
If you don’t oppose it can’t react.
If you react with love? How can it oppose?
If another was to tell you that they care for you could you hurt him? Talk…listen..do not be stirred in your hearts…
Forgive…don’t judge…
do these things in a place apart and you will find that you are renewed…
You will find that there is no stirring up of emotions…
envision a reality where we are all one…
you are more powerful than you will ever know…
September 8th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
“57th Unit of the Airborne Division”? Research this, and consider the source of this news (Iran). I come up with all dead ends trying to validate any of this stories facts. If you can locate this so called unit let me know please.
September 8th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
uh…hmmm…sit down for dinner…then ingest poison…hmmm….could it be the food was poisoned? No…wayyyyyy too logical for public consumption…ingest bullshit…absorb it deep into your 5000 year old mummified brains and move onto a dessert of elaborate lies with chocolate sauce.
Either the Iraqi’s got some revenge or our team shut up some team players…both more plausible than suicide for dessert.
September 8th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
not everything is a conspiracy. if you kill communities of women and children during your days work it is bound to have a psychological effect. if anything there has probably been more suicides than has been reported.
September 9th, 2008 at 3:34 am
so it just shows you how bad it is over there…
the american military are commiting crimes against humanity

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE “57th Unit of the Airborne Division” IN IRAQ
September 9th, 2008 at 4:07 am
This story needs to be pulled and fact-checked before reposting. Shame on Alex’s crew for posting this garbage. I would hate to see shoddy, easily debunked news articles starting to make the headlines on PrisonPlanet. We have a hard enough time keeping up with the news and trying to wake people up- we don’t need to be mislead and be made to look like fools with unverified, baseless, junk information. Until we get some better, more diverse sources, this is IRANIAN PROPAGANDA. That doesn’t mean suicides aren’t a problem amongst our troops in Iraq. We know for a fact it is a problem, but a mass suicide story from a shady source regarding an Army division that doesn’t even exist is impossible for me to accept.
*** PULL THIS STORY OR GET DIFFERENT SOURCES!!! ***
September 9th, 2008 at 4:44 am
This appears to be propaganda. Every story should be fact checked. This is shameful that it appears on this site, and most of all looking at the comments that people naively read it without investigating themselves!! In this so called ‘infowar’ there is a serious pandemic of blindness and a serious lack of analysis on the part of Mr Jones’ crew…
How about instead of pulling this article as people have suggested, show how BOTH sides in this brewing “Iran vs USA” conflict utilise propaganda for their own means. Educate and teach these people to analyse and criticise. These same people who ‘blindly’ read the article and exploded saying that the suicides are ‘disgraceful’, or that they were poisoned. Granted suicides in teh army are a problem, i do not dispute that.
Voila, amusez-vous bien.
May the wind blow fair at your backs.
September 9th, 2008 at 5:04 am
Yes E-Rock! you right! May can we look it as a:

Pinch everything with Anthrax
Separate as many countries as you like so… better if is a oil rich ( Iraq/Iran ) so you will do not need butter.
Mix everything with the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
On the top: a Patriotic act.
For souvenir Torture Act ( for children’s if you like so ) is up to you
Don’t forget to take away the Habeas-Corpus this must be really dangerous to the jeopardized the Cake!
Put the music on when the guns of the tanks machines is on the roads so the kids will enjoy it.
On the ground a nice red color from the blood of all innocents victims… but it needs to be a innocent blood if not the satanic ritual will not be accepted by their Satan.
Use your imagination to keep it on ( like Georgia invasion/genocide stile … etc )

September 9th, 2008 at 5:49 am
Ok people, sorry to bust anyone’s bubble, but this story is a hoax. A few obvious, dead giveaways:
“57th Unit of the US Airborne Division” Sorry, that’s BS.
“looked like 5000-year mummies” Uhh, right. Cause that’s what narcotics do.
“Fars News Agency reported”
Fars News Agency (FNA) is Iran’s leading independent news agency, covering a wide variety of subjects in different, political, economic, cultural, social, legal, sports, military and other areas with the most up-to-date, independent, unbiased and reliable news and reports in Persian and English.
Like someone else alluded to, this is at best Iranian propaganda. If that’s true, the Iranians are just laughing at how stupid we all are for falling for this.
But, it’s probably not even the Iranians. It’s just some hoax news report, and whoever wrote it is laughing at all the dumbasses who believe it.
September 9th, 2008 at 5:52 am
Expanding on my post below, I’d also like to point out that a search for “suicide” in titles and headlines give no relavent results on Fars News Agency’s website.
September 9th, 2008 at 5:59 am
I am British , I have seen nothing in the media;I am confused why haven’t they told us anything ????? This news is huge
September 9th, 2008 at 6:01 am
Right On Right On
Why do you think that the u.s. was so easily led to war? You believe in war as being the answer. It’s in your heritage. The idea that you can win someone over through kindness, fairness is completely foreign to you. Why do americans have so many guns? The founding fathers new I think that you would not have the spiritual capacity to keep the country stable and free. They new you would need your guns in the end.
If the spirit of man is strong. If his reliance comes from within and from God he has no need to oppose anyone. He is self sufficient. The more you fight the more you will be opposed. It’s the law. Every action requires an equal and opposing reaction. I can’t make you think. I can only tell you that I believe in the spirit of man. He will find his spirit (for peace and truth) only when he is done playing with war.

I hope that heritage comment was not directed at me solely due to the simple fact I am from the UK. Not all Brits believe in war (I am so sick of people generalising with their own extremist views !!!) We should all stop labelling one another.Is this story a hoax or is it real? . Someone with facts please come forward and inform me. I would appreciate that.
September 9th, 2008 at 6:29 am
not sure if I believe in all those suicides….hmmmmm
September 9th, 2008 at 6:33 am
ps Janice try and calmed down dear ..be more constructive with your views I simply asked if this was a hoax or not.
September 9th, 2008 at 6:42 am
There is no more banality than, life and death. Except for the individual-person, himself.
It is the great existential-question, isn’t it?

Eat me: You are gay! You bad mouth gay people and you are one yourself…I told you so! You are a sick little boy, no go home and tell your mommy to send you to a doctor.
More info is needed on this story before I comment, because something is not right.
September 9th, 2008 at 9:32 am
I wonder if it is possible to write to the troops in Iraq.If so,we should all write them to tell them that they have the support of the people,that they should come home now,and if someone says no.Help them suicide themselfs.
September 9th, 2008 at 9:44 am
The only thing that i can find as far as looking up the 57th is a Medical Company.
It states:
The mission of the 57th Medical Company (AA) is to provide rapid aeromedical evacuation support for the soldiers of the 82nd Airbourne Division and the XVlll Airboorne Corps.
and that info came from: Global Security. Org
so it is a Medical Company in other words a ( Air Ambulance).
you can take it from there.

Have any of you people heard about computers giving off toxic gas into your home? This guy has a website called http://www.rawair.net. He has all kinds of info on it. It’s really scary shit.

That number doesnt make sence sounds like a mass suicide and thats impossible dealing with real soldiers. It would be logical they were test subjects to something and the effects gave these soldiers motivation to commit suicide. Other then that does not add up. Besides that this story would be a huge 1 to not hear…

Suicide?…They looked like 5000 year old mummies! I don’t think so,
Sounds more like weapons testing…

PressTV is Iranian. Maybe this is just propaganda?

This seems strange. One would think this would be bigger news. And those who say guilt that are American should ponder what they’ve done lately to bring us home if that is what you really want.
If you want to send letters show care and support but don’t dismiss the mission whether you agree with it or not…you simply don’t want to tug at somebodies heart when they are trying to surivive.
Other than that, war is hell. You’d like their to be civilized rules to something that is frankly uncivil. How would you feel if there was a seemingly invisible enemy trying to kill you and your friends? The well you signed up for it is poor excercise in understanding. The care and patience many of us have brought to the Iraqi people is easy to overlook. The times I risked my life to unarm a man rather than shoot him when I was cleared to do so, the times I went into people’s homes to ask them how they are doing and what could be done to help them or the kids I gave medicine and medical treatment to are all good examples of this. The thing is the matter is complicated.
If you want to find blame with someone, think of the Brittish who after leaving their colonies purposefully set them up so there would be internal strife. The gutless actions or lack of there of by politicians because Turkey fears the Kurdish thus not cutting up Iraq into proper countries that stand a better chance of self government.
The other thing you have to realize is many Iraqi people are helpless. They do not help themselves. You can’t force someone to fish. Many wanted at the start and to this day for the U.S. to give them a small version of the U.S. full of jobs and a solid infastructure. Give. Not earn, or teahc them but just hand it over.
Look, when Saddam took over he was in a room with at least three hundred people. They may have not had guns but Saddam didn’t have that many guards. He called people’s names out of the blue and excuted them to scare the others. At this point you have to wonder why when you don’t know if the next name he calls is yours you don’t all stand up and risk your lives to save them. So what can you expect from these people when their leaders are incapable of doing that? And the same thing happens today when fighters from other countries come into town they fear them so much they won’t tell the troops where they are in most cases. Though these same people they fear do attack them. Often times they kidnap their children and force the parents to commit attacks. Yet they don’t give them up out of fear, a fear that is often realized despite their held tongues.
Another thing to think about is that women also strap bombs on. Children lay them down in the streets for money. If a woman tries to kill you or a child should you just die? I’m not saying this is the case in most instances. But mistakes happen in wars with deadly consequences. We’d like that everything went perfectly but as you all know we fallible beings that make mistakes all of the time. Yet while over there it’s on our minds that we could become a fall a guy for doing our job. We aren’t the SS or anything like that. Almost every soldier I have worked with has displayed compassion and care for the Iraqi people. Sometimes discontent but time and time again I have seen restraint displayed. Over time you will see the stess get to most of these kids over there. But it is not right to judge them with everday life when that is not where they are at.

The justification for the war was wrong from day one. Needless to say soldiers are compasionate. They are as a human being compasionate but there is a thing called morals; these morals are the very reason we call ourselves humans. Failing to show those morals makes them any less than an animals.
They took an oath to kill, make a living by killing others makes this occupation more worst if not the worst of all occupations. If given the choice and i believe America being the land of freedom or so they call it would be very wise to make a living without ever needing to kill another humans.
Afterall, whats the difference between ARMED ROBBERIES and the war in Iraq? Americans stealing others’ properties makes nothing less than a thieves, and thieves you are. Its a shame there are creatures calling themselves humans and at the same time behaving more like an animal.
America, you are murderrers, thieves, cunning, selfish worst than animals. You are disgrace to the humankind.
Democracy is and should be a gift, not something that you americans forcing through a barel of a gun or using it to grab some other people’s land and looting their resources.

i certainly hope that this in not a true story. If it isn’t it should be explained. Alex will lose all credibility if he does not explain it or if he leaves it the way it is. There must be a response of some kind. We can’t trust other sources. We have to be able to trust someone. If it is a false story I would like to hear Alex admit to that, even if he was mislead. That is the only way trust in this site can be restored.

Maybe it was rigged so the real troops could go off the grid bigtime for serious blackwork. Curious…

I remember back in the Clinton days, one of the Marine-1 choppers was taken down near PAX Naval Testing station by an apparent particle beam- we assume this because the first person to the crash site, an anthropology professor, described the pilots wounds like “he was baked in a microwave and head badly shriveled”..But the CERN is going on tomorrow, so get you a hooker and some beer and get your Large Hadron Collider revved up!!!

Take a look at this, could be one of the reasons some of the troops are committing suicide. When you find out that if you have kids they’ll turn out to be monsters…I’d freakin’ kill myself as well

really, the 57th Unit of the Airborne Division doesn’t exist!
maybe, it’s the 57th Unit of the 82nd Airborn Division, at least this division was in iraq, but not at the right time
basic principle of valid news reporting: at least two sources, each one independent from the other, so long….

If this is even real, I am wondering if they were victems of some kind of version of a microwave weapon. Seems like that could make people look like 5,000 year old mummies. Is this what secret society Yale alum Woodward is alluding to with his talk of a secret weapon in Iraq?

Kids sodomized at Abu Ghraib, Pentagon has the videos. Seymour Hersh says the US government has videotapes of boys being sodomized at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
“The worst is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking,” the reporter told an ACLU convention last week. Hersh says there was “a massive amount of criminal wrongdoing that was covered up at the highest command out there, and higher.” Some of the worse that happened that you don’t know about, ok. Videos, there are women there. Some of you may have read they were passing letters, communications out to their men. This is at Abu Ghraib which is 30 miles from Baghdad. The women were passing messages saying “Please come and kill me, because of what’s happened”. Basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys/children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. The worst about all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror it’s going to come out.
It’s impossible to say to yourself how do we get there? who are we? Who are these people that sent us there? The Government are sodomites who works for the devil. Need I say More? There are CIA prison’s around the world where boys are taught the art of SODOMY. Sodomite occults are found at the Middle Eastern Koranic Schools in Morrocco, Africa. Saudi Arabia where many high government officials go there to engage in homosexual affairs. As a result, Washington D.C. is faced with a deadly AIDS epidemic. 1 out of 20 people living in the U.S. nations capital are infected with HIV. Today AIDS/HIV patients make up 40 percent of the nursing home population. Sodomites are referred to as 33rd Degree Mason’s and Rainbow Boys in the Freemasonry organization. Yaser Arafat was a 33rd Degree Mason and a Middle Eastern president who died of full blown aids. VIDEO: Abu Ghraib CIA Prison for Sodomites http://search.icq.com/search/s.....4151533502
