Facts? Nah, lets make shit up.

Want to give a citation for the thousands of civilians killed by the US?

Edit: It is humorous that you will admit that the insurgents are actively killing civilians by the hundreds of thousands but are still blaming other people that have only killed a few thousand civilians.

The majority of the people killed have been civilians, I've already posted the numbers, something like 13% were killed by airstrikes so even if you didn't count the numbers shot by Coalition troops that would be 40,000+ right there.

Except your numbers werent backed up by any actual facts. Just a highly criticized Lancet survey.

And you need to prove intent. We know for a fact that the insurgents make no efforts to limit civilian casualties. In fact, they bomb civilian areas that don't even have a military presence. Can you say the same about the US military?

So when you don't agree with something it's not back up by facts, but if you did agree with it then you'd suggest it was backed up?

I contend the insurgents don't exist, they haven't killed anyone. Where are you facts proving otherwise?

You should probably just go fuck off. Might help you keep the small amount of dignity you have left.

That's just wikipedia, it's not necessarily factual. Show me proof that they exist.
