By Marian Wilkinson, Herald Correspondent in Washington Rejecting responsibility for the mounting civilian toll in Iraq, the Pentagon is adopting the political strategy of blaming all such casualties on Saddam Hussein. "Any casualty that occurs, any death that occurs, is a direct result of Saddam Hussein's policies," a spokeswoman for the United States Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, told journalists. The statement came after reports that a US missile strike on Baghdad had killed 15 civilians and wounded many others in the Sha'ab market district.

Damn Straight! Posted by: jamesbray at March 27, 2003 11:16 PMWoohoo! Finally, some signs of moral certainty! Way to go Mr. Rumsfeld!! Posted by: Jahandar at March 27, 2003 11:21 PM"Apopting the political strategy" my ass. Does the reporter have any proof of that statement? Posted by: Matt at March 27, 2003 11:33 PMI like this policy. All possible attempts must be made to discredit and destroy the propaganda machine of Saddam Hussein. While efforts directed towards the Arab Street™ are futile, the homefront is winnable. Public opinion is the only obsticle on the road to victory. Posted by: ND (US Army) at March 27, 2003 11:41 PMThis isn't just a "political policy" its logic. If Iraq's government respected the individual rights of it's people, and showed the same respect for other nations, we would never have had this problem. Anything less is a slap in the face of justice. Posted by: Jahandar at March 27, 2003 11:54 PMPost a comment
