U.S. Military Obstructing Medical Care

The U.S. Military has been Preventing Delivery of Medical Care in Several Instances, Medical Staff Say

by Dahr Jamail

BAGHDAD -- The U.S. military has been preventing delivery of medical care in several instances, medical staff say.

Iraqi doctors at many hospitals have reported raids by coalition forces. Some of the more recent raids have been in Amiriyat al-Fallujah, about 10km to the east of Fallujah, the town to which U.S. forces have laid bloody siege. Amiriyat al-Fallujah has been the source of several reported resistance attacks on U.S. forces.

The main hospital in Amiriyat al-Fallujah was raided twice recently by U.S. soldiers and members of the Iraqi National Guard, doctors say. ”The first time was November 29 at 5:40am, and the second time was the following day,” said a doctor at the hospital who did not want to give his real name for fear of U.S. reprisals.

In the first raid about 150 U.S. soldiers and at least 40 members of the Iraqi National Guard stormed the small hospital, he said.

”They were yelling loudly at everyone, both doctors and patients alike,” the young doctor said. ”They divided into groups and were all over the hospital. They broke the gates outside, they broke the doors of the garage, and they raided our supply room where our food and supplies are. They broke all the interior doors of the hospital, as well as every exterior door.”

1. $80 million....

... in US funds to purchase new doors for Iraqi homes/buildings that had the misfortune of being crashed down by US troops, went missing right about the time that Saddam "popped out of his spider hole". Is this the cover up? Or a new scam to bilk million$? :tinfoilhat:
