In recent years, instead of blaming the Hussein government for conditions in Iraq, she&#8217;s found it more profitable to rage against the US.  In this video which someone sent me, she makes the outrageous claim that since World War Two, 90% of causalities of wars have been civilians. You&#8217;ll notice that she&#8217;s on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.presstv.ir\/\">Iran&#8217;s PressTV<\/a> &#8211; the English language press arm of the Iranian government.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/YmjjgyuBVvI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/YmjjgyuBVvI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><\/embed><\/object> <\/p>\n<p>Ya know, if you factor in The Sudan&#8217;s persecution of Christians, the Rwandan genocide, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Vietnamese extermination of opponents, she might be right. But, of course, her assertion is that 90% of the casualty in US wars have been civilians.<\/p>\n<p>It shouldn&#8217;t surprise you that Wasfi was a vociferous supporter of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=10776\">Carl Webb<\/a> and his philosophy that IVAW should support the killing and maiming of US troops. The length of time that Wasfi spent in Iraq during the war there can almost be measured in days &#8211; she spent three months there in 2006 and plays the expert. She banks on your acceptance of her expertise on the subject of Iraq based merely on her parentage. <\/p>\n<p>Every bio that I can find on her says the same thing about her education &#8220;Dr. Wasfi graduated from Swarthmore College in 1993 with a B.A. in Biology, and in 1997 graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.&#8221; Graduated with what degree? She calls herself a doctor, but it seems to me that she mention what in what endeavor was her doctorate. See the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.med.upenn.edu\/departments.shtml\">several areas of study<\/a>, some have little to do with medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Given her activism, I&#8217;m guessing that whatever her degree was in, it probably wasn&#8217;t as profitable as yapping about shit with which she&#8217;s unfamiliar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dahlia Wasfi was born in Iraq and fled the Hussein government with her family when she &hellip; <a title=\"Dahlia Wasfi the lying POS\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=20957\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Dahlia Wasfi the lying POS<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-ivaw"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
