Jeff K:
“…a recent study of 24 bombed countries found 98% of casualties from cluster munitions are civilians.”
OK, I googled that like you suggested, and got ONE study [although the International Leftist Press & Useful Fool Bloggers took that lone "study" and ran with it].
Your so-called ‘study’ was done by Handicapped International — which has pages of criticism against the U.S. for not toeing the line and giving up an effective weapon that U.S. soldiers are damn thankful that we have in our arsenal. [Neither China nor Russia are giving up the weapon either, but Handicapped International seems to think that's understandable, and A-OK with them].
So you can understand it when I say that Handicapped International can take their non-peer reviewed, bogus ‘study’ propaganda and shove it. The only thing about their anti-American spin that I don’t understand is: why didn’t they go the extra 2% with their bogus statistics, and claim a 100% civilian casualty rate? It would hardly be less credible.
Folks, keep in mind that agenda-driven organizations with highfalutin’ names like Handicapped International are controlled by the same source as organizations like the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, which recruited impressionable American college kids during the Spanish Civil War to charge machine gun nests on behalf of the Soviet masters running the A.L. Brigade. Anyone who believes that the collapse of the Berlin Wall ended the Soviet KGB [oh, 'scuse me, it's the FSB now], need only look at the KGB colonel who’s still running Russia, Vladimir Putin.
