3grlz Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Baghdad City Demands $1 Billion in Damages from US Posted on 18 February 2011. Tags: Baghdad The city of Baghdad wants the United States to apologize and pay $1 billion for the damage done to the city not by bombs but by blast walls and Humvees since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. Reuters reports that Baghdad’s government issued its demands in a statement on Wednesday, saying that the city’s infrastructure and aesthetics have been seriously damaged by the American military. “The U.S. forces changed this beautiful city to a camp in an ugly and destructive way, which reflected deliberate ignorance and carelessness about the simplest forms of public taste,” the statement said. “Due to the huge damage, leading to a loss the Baghdad municipality cannot afford…we demand the American side apologize to Baghdad’s people and pay back these expenses.” The statement made no mention of damage caused by bombing. Baghdad’s neighborhoods have been sealed off by miles of concrete blast walls, transforming the city into a tangled maze that contributes to massive traffic jams. Despite a sharp reduction in overall violence in recent years only 5 percent of the walls have been removed, officials said. The heavy blast walls have damaged sewer and water systems, pavement and parks, said Hakeem Abdul Zahra, the city spokesman. U.S. military Humvees, driven on street medians and through gardens, have also caused major damage, he said. “The city of Baghdad feels these violations, which have taken place for years, have caused economic and moral damage,” he said.

harleyharryfl Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I also think that we have some aesthetic issues here in America from people they supported that I think they need to apologize for ... 1. The skyline of N.Y. city it is missing two huge buildings and will never be fixed, 2. The front of the Pentagon .. 3 . The large crater in a field in Pennsylvania... 4. the one thing that you wont be able to fix the loss of friends and family that are dearly missed and will not ever be forgotten ....no amount of money or words from you will take away the anger and pain that sits in the hearts of Americans so I will tell you this chose your words carefully . 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2d2dc Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Freedom is not cheap, as we in the United States can tell you first hand. Iraq is free (or at least more now than before), because of the United States, That is not to mention the loss of our Soldiers trying to do a job that few even thought would be possible. So, please don't speak to me about the walls that are inconvenient or the landscaping that needs to be repaired. Get your people to work, and help your own. I'm sorry I'm just a bit worked up about this demand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give 'em hell Harley! Knocked it out of the park with this one. What is the cost of 4,400 Fallen Heroes and 38,000 wounded. The Billions we spent trying to free Iraq. They can want in one hand and s%$t in the other hand and let's see which gets filled up first... Hard to argue with that. But actually I think I remember seeing a post on this site saying that Iraq had set aside Money to pay Americans adversely affected by the war. I wanna say it was 10 billion but not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
