Americans Deliver Delivery Ward

Iâ€™m almost impressed by Islamic charity except for the FACT that western nations out perform Islamic ones hands down. The terrorists talk about being for the common man and helping the poor but we actually do it. Who lowered infant mortality in Afghanistan? It was not the Taliban it was the USA.

Centcom :KABUL , Afghanistan â€“ The command surgeon of Combined Forces Command â€“ Afghanistan presented the renovated Rabia Balkhi Maternity Hospital to Afghanistan â€™s minister of public health in a ceremony here April 9.
The U.S. Departments of Defense and Health and Human Services invested a combined $10 million into renovations, Air Force Col. (Dr.) Donald Thompson said.
The renovations and related training programs have already improved the care provided by the Rabia Balkhi, which is Kabul â€™s second-busiest maternity hospital, delivering more than 15,000 babies each year. â€œWhen we first started, there were three to four maternal deaths per week. Last year, (Rabia Balkhi) had 18 maternal deaths for the entire year,â€ Thompson said.
While those numbers, plus the 50 percent decline in the mortality rate for newborns weighing more than 5.5 pounds, show a positive trend, there are still too many deaths, and that is what continuing programs will attempt to reduce, Thompson said.

Well done sheâ€™s a cutie.

1 Unfortunately these "children" will only grow up to be suicide bombers and radical insurgents intent on destroying America. It is better to get rid of them now than to have to fight them in 15-20 years.

2 Why do you think they have straps around the baby's body?
And BTW, Victory, that is a horrible thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself.

3 The truth is not always an easy thing to speak but that does not make it any less factual. These arabs are incapable of forming and living in a peaceful society. They exist solely to create terror and disrupt the fabric of decent society.

By removing the arab and eradicating his satanic religion worldwide we can truly have peace in our lifetimes.

5 I dunno victory it takes both fighting and aid. Did we have to kill every German to defeat the Nazis nope. Not even close.

6 >>>Unfortunately these "children"

Victory,

are they not real children? Why the quotes then.

7 >>> By removing the arab and eradicating his satanic religion worldwide, we can truly have peace in our lifetimes.

Victory, firstly, all muslims aren't arabs. Secondly, there has never been peace at any time in recorded human history. Due to human nature there is always a threat that needs to be confronted. Thirdly, it's easy to just say kill them all. How do you propose to kill 1+ billion people scattered throughout virtually every country? Like Howie said, it's a combination of fighting and aid. That child in the picture isn't born wanting to kill infidels. Showing compassion, educating people and helping them can go much farther than violence. Just look at Kurdistan.

9 sorry larry got to test.

10 First of all, most Afghans are not Arabs. And this talk of killing all Arabs, killing all Muslims, killing all Mexicans is ridiculous. I wish the hell you would stop it, victory. We heard you the first time. You have made your stupid point. Enough.

And thank you, Graeme, for being a sane voice, and pointing out places where we have succeeded, and where the entire ME could be were it not for the jihadists. Yes, kill all the jihadists. I have no problem with that, but if you were to try to kill one of my friends who is a Muslim, or another of my friends who is from Chile, or another who is from Mexico, I would stop you, victory.

11 Sadly, $10,000,000 US tax dollars was poured down a rat-hole which most likely will be reduced to rubble by a suicide bomber while homeless and middle class workers in America continue with no health care coverage.

Nice to know Larry, that you put the lives of Afghani babies behind your access to affordable healthcare, you do know that Canada and Britain both have a "free" socialist medical program and homeless welfare programs right? you can then take your paycheck home, knowing you've paid about 25% tax for some asshole to sit at home, and cash his state given Giro "job seeker" allowance, but hey no need to worry about third-world babies!

12 Now, if we could just bring all those babies we killed back to life...
Oh, we can't?!

Posted by: Greg at April 17, 2006 06:20 PM (q5wwn)

13 Now Greg, Baby Killers?

Posted by: Howie at April 17, 2006 06:25 PM (D3+20)

14 The thing about babies...
They're a hell of a lot cuter when they're alive.

Posted by: Greg at April 17, 2006 07:33 PM (q5wwn)

15 So when were we intentionally targeting babies. I agree they are cuter alive and would rather have them that way. Who is the baby killer? (as I understand the meaning) he who recruits the baby as a soldier and sends him to battle or the soldier who kills him in battle?

Or are you talking about babies killed (not intentionally) in bombing? adn why is always the children we acidentally kill greg there are others killed too and during operations targeting civilians exclusivly by our enemy.

Posted by: Howie at April 17, 2006 07:49 PM (D3+20)

16 Didn't say we intentionally target them. I'm saying there is no such thing as a smart bomb. And spray and pray doesn't help either. Who knows how many hundreds we've killed.
Israel kills 4 times as many Palestinian children than the other way around. But when the New York Times reports on the death of a child, in the Palestinian/Israeli context, it is 7 times as likely to be about the death of an Israeli child, a 28 fold bias.
I suspect the same is true of us in Iraq.
Fix it or nix it. This ship is sinking and stinking.

Posted by: Greg at April 17, 2006 08:28 PM (q5wwn)

17 Larry,
"potential suicide bombers" are you nuts?
how many suicide bombings occurred before the Taliban brought their venomous teachings and rulings from Pakistan?

The only thing I see convulsing is chicken little's like yourself telling everyone the sky is falling, wipe the froth from your chin and try being a little more objective.

Posted by: davec at April 17, 2006 08:30 PM (CcXvt)

18 I agree greg no bomb is that smart. But greg you know I don't want to anyone to have to die if that is possible. I see your media bias thing but I don't see how that relates to Iraq. I mean we can't be over reporting the deaths of American babies there.

What about the babies they killed just one time for the hell of it. How do you feel about those to be fair it has to be the same. Can one be worse than the other?

Posted by: Howie at April 17, 2006 08:44 PM (D3+20)

19 How many babies did we save in this hospital alone? The year before this hospital was revamped 200 babies died because of poor medical care. 18 died the next year due to improvements. My math says we saved about 180 babies. This is a good thing.

Posted by: jesusland joe at April 17, 2006 09:35 PM (rUyw4)

20 What we're experiencing in this thread is the "dopelar effect" - The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
Some are more susceptible to it than others.

We have Victory who wants to kill everyone not like him.

We have Greg who thinks a suicide bomber intentionally blowing up kids collecting candy is the same as a bomb intended to kill 20 jihadis and accidently kills a civilian.

And we have Loose Lips Larry who can't decide what he hates more; Bush for sending troops in to kill terrorists or the fact that not enough are killed.

21 "The invasion of Iraq in March 2003 by U.S.-led coalition forces has been responsible for the death of at least 150,000 civilians reveals a compilation of scientific studies and corroborated eyewitness testimonies.
The majority of these deaths, which are in addition those normally expected from natural causes, illness and accidents, have been among women and children, documents a well-researched study, that had been released by The Lancet Medical Journal.

That estimate excludes Falluja, a hotspot for violence. If the data from this town is included, the compiled studies point to about 250,000 excess deaths since the outbreak of the U.S.-led war."

22 So, I guess no one knows why they put the straps around the new-borns?
