أنا جندي أمريكي ولا أريد أن أكون هنا. أمس هاجمنا العراقيون في أبوغريب وقتل منا 24 وجرح 47 .
إن حكومتنا تخفي الأعداد الحقيقية لإصاباتنا ومنذ البداية. ونحن الجنود الأمريكان نعلم أن 13 الفا قتلوا منا و49 ألفا جرحوا33 ألفا منهم كانت إصاباتهم ثقيلة إلى الدرجة التي خرجوا بها من الجيش وتعوقوا لبقية حياتهم . كم أتمنى أن أمسك بوش أو رامسفيلد مرة

US Casualties: An Email From US Soldier Stationed At Abu Garib Prison

April 04, 2005

I am an American soldier here and don't want to be. Yesterday we got hit by Iraqis and twenty four of us died and forty seven injured. My government has been hiding the true number of our casualties since the beginning. We American soldiers know that there are thirteen thousand of us that have died and forty nine thousand injured and thirty three thousand of the injured were bad enough to be forced out of the military and crippled for the rest of their lives. If only I could get my hands on Bush or Rumsfeld.

Update On 'Life Or Death'
US Attack On Fallujah
From CECSJ
1-7-5

In massive assault, US forces burst into southern part of al-Fallujah Thursday morning. Most intense fighting under way. Resistance commander calls for the prayers.

CESJ Comment - All Western news media reported weeks ago that Fallujah fully under US control.
So, why is there still massive US attacking going on?

Mujahideens pushed back the invaders: Shaykh Abu-Abdallah, the spokesman of freedom fighters in Faluja said that more than 450 US troops had been killed and 200 more wounded in 12 hours battle, according to Resistance military estimates. More than 140 US tanks and armored vehicles have been destroyed, in addition to more than 53 Humvees set ablaze and destroyed. In addition five US helicopters had been shot down, including three Apaches, and one fighter airplane, as well as six unmanned spyplanes.

"We also succeeded in capturing 18 US troops, three of them wounded," said Shaykh Abu-Abdallah. This followed 26 others who were captured early in the day in the an-Nazal neighborhood who were later killed when the Resistance was forced to evacuate that area, since it would have been extremely difficult to transport them out of there.

Shaykh Abu Abdallah said that as to Resistance losses, "in the an-Nazal neighborhood that the occupation troops dropped gases on and fired internationally banned weapons into, we lost 145 fighters, including 33 fraternal Arab volunteers. We also lost quantities of light and heavy weapons in the battles when US aircraft bombed and rocketed the area. But then we seized twice that amount afterwards, thanks be to God."

As to the prisoners, Shaykh Abu-Abdallah said, "we will once again try to exchange them for our prisoners. If the occupation forces refuse, then we will kill them, for we will have no choice."
