Occupation Iraq: U.S. Soldiers Spreading Swine Flu

Just think of it as more liberation, along with the displacement, depleted uranium, and death, Iraqis.

"51 American troops in Iraq diagnosed with swine flu; Pilgrim’s death in Shi’ite city raises concern" by Chelsea J. Carter, Associated Press | August 10, 2009

BAGHDAD - Fifty-one American troops in Iraq have been diagnosed with and treated for swine flu, while another 71 soldiers remain in isolation suspected of contracting the potentially deadly virus, the US military said yesterday.

The figures were released as Iraqi health officials confirmed the country’s first swine flu death yesterday. A woman in the southern holy Shi’ite city of Najaf died of the disease, raising fears about a possible outbreak among worshipers making pilgrimages to the revered sites....

Planning on reducing the Muslim population are you (see links at bottom of post)?

It was not immediately known whether the diagnosed and suspected cases were confined to a single base, or whether they were spread across Iraq.... Meanwhile, 28 cases of swine flu have been confirmed among Iraqis, including the 21-year-old woman who died from the virus in Najaf, said Dr. Ihsan Jaafar, a health ministry spokesman....

The spread of swine flu in the Arab world has raised concerns about the region’s ability to control the virus’s spread among millions expected to attend this year’s hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. Arab health ministers have banned children, the elderly, and those with chronic illnesses, from attending the hajj.

There are similar concerns in Iraq over the hundreds of thousands of Shi’ite pilgrims who make journeys to pray at shrines in Najaf and Karbala.

An aide to Iraq’s top Shi’ite cleric, Najaf-based Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, told worshippers during Friday prayers at the Imam al-Hussein shrine in Karbala that health officials must take measures to control the swine flu. In Karbala, health officials handed out masks and gloves during a recent festival honoring a 9th century Shi’ite imam.

Wow, that is a truncated version of what is in my printed paper (I buckled, readers):


North of Baghdad, in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, Iraqi and U.S. medical professionals held a conference to outline a response to a possible swine flu outbreak as well as a prevention and treatment plan.

DON'T take a NEEDLE, Iraqis!!!!!


A public health campaign using posters and radio call-in shows are being used in some parts of Iraq to educate people about swine flu prevention. The World Health Organization, as of July 31, had tallied more than 162,000 swine flu cases worldwide. It counted at least 1,154 deaths, with more than 1,000 reported in the Americas, according to its Web site....

I wouldn't trust those sick globalist scum!


In May, 18 U.S. soldiers on their way to Iraq were diagnosed with swine flu in Kuwait. They recovered after treatment on an American base in Kuwait and left the country.
