The Pentagon has once again offered a report on the number of civilians
killed in US-led military operations in Syria and Iraq since 2014. Once again, the report is a dramatic understatement of the numbers established from independent media accounts.
Officially, now the US admits to killing just over 1,300 civilians in
Syria and Iraq in that span, with 111 more cases still under
investigation. Airwars, the UK-based NGO, documents the deaths in excess
of 13,000 civilians.
It has been a recurring reality that US figures on civilian deaths have
been dramatically less than the real figures, mostly because major
incidents where the US killed dozens or scores of civilians ended up
either ignored, or listed at far lower tolls than they actually were.
This has become dramatically more apparent in the past year, with
undercounts now not just several times too low, but a factor of ten
below the death toll from the most credible independent source.
The Pentagon cant balance their checkbook, who would believe any numbers coming out of there ?

The overall conclusion reached is that the United States most likely has been responsible since WWII for the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people in wars and conflicts scattered over the world.
You’d think there’d be a coalition of the willing to get rid of the indispensable killing machine.
