Is the Department of Defense not releasing the IED casualties accurately? (File video is for mature viewers)?

Question

There are litterally hundreds, or maybe thousands of IEDs exploding day by day, since the Iraq invasion began.

I have seen countless video clips from www.liveleak.com and there are many, many IED attacks inflicted to the coalition troops.

It seems the notorious IED attacks are taking place everyday.

But I seldom get the news from the media.

And there are very few announcements and reports presented to the American public by the DOD.

Do you think, the DOD is intentionally avoiding the release of the report of the real IED attacks?
(Maybe Bush is involved in this cover-up?)

I want to know the truth...

I believe the DOD and Bush administration is not accuratelly telling us of the true IED attack casualties.

Here is a file video from the www.liveleak.com.
This is video is, believe me, a tip of the gigantic iceberg of the IED attack videos at the www.liveleak.com. There may be over a thousand, or more IED videos there.

Answer 1

I believe there's definitely plenty of things going on over there that they aren't telling us. I think "tip of the iceberg" is right... :(

Answer 2

As someone who has been there twice, had IED go off next to me, I think you are looking too deep. I can tell from the video that those are clips from at least two years ago, just by the vehicles being hit. Are there a lot of IED's there? Yes, in one day, we found 27, had two vehicles hit by two separate IED's, but no one was injured. Just because an IED goes off, doesn't mean someone dies or is injured. You can twist anything you want to blame the president, that is your perogotive. I for one think the media tells people entirely too much about what is going on. It hampers our ability to complete our mission if we have some armchair patriot second guessing every step we make, or shot we take trying to protect ourselves, or kill those trying to kill us.

Answer 3

If the DOD listed EVERY attack on soldiers in Iraq, it would be spending all of its time filing reports instead of defending the country. The fact is, there is no intentional cover-up per se. It happens though.

Answer 4

the respond you prefer to hearken to isn't purely is Bush protecting this up, yet that he's likewise for my section putting IED's himself the reality to you is that each and everything is a coverup or conspiracy. Get a existence. playstation only because of the fact an IED explodes doesnt right now recommend that there are casualties.

Answer 5

Maybe you should realize that those are propaganda videos and _Use Your Brain_? They Are lying To You!



Hint: according to one of those propaganda videos I was killed in Oct 2004.



I served in a Brigade HQ in Iraq and I can assure that we never had 'hundreds' of IED attacks on any day. (And this was in 2004 when these attacks were at their highest level.)



BTW below is a link to an assortment of military press releases that show the number of attacks in Iraq. Read it and maybe you will learn something.

Answer 6

I dont know from where you get this idea but if you look to the casualties details you will find most of them are by IED ..except for the marines which they dont release their casualties details ( I dont know why ? )

Answer 7

Most of the time anything you hear in the media is just half of it. No they dont report every attack, every US casualty... remember they only let you know what they want you to know.

Answer 8

the dod really has it's hand's full right now and it may take a few years to catch up on this
