...You are fleeing in the face of the facts when you deny the Shock and Awe attack on Iraq which began the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Shock and Awe was opened with the launching of hundreds of cruise missiles and thousands of bombs dropped from the big bombers based in Britain and elsewhere.

The missiles and bombs blew up mosques,markets,apartment blocks and hospitals.It was a ghastly and indiscriminate attack on the civilian population of Baghdad.There were many casualties.

The US military and media commentators boasted about Shock and Awe at the time but even that carnage has been overlaid with the further suffering inflicted on the Iraqi civilian population through the use of death squads, phospherous shells,napalm , depleted uranium munitions,torture ,kidnappings,sexual assaults and the indiscriminate fire of US soldiers and mercenaries alike.630000 civilian dead and no end insight to the occupation and the bloodbath.
