This boy isn't getting the attention that earlier tragedies did, but his case seems just as bad. They say it was a mortar from Sadr's men.
For whatever reason, this ten-year old is now:
Blind. Lost a leg. And his brother.



God give his mother strength.

1. Bush hates young people

it's not a joke.

You shall know the false prophets by their fruits.

Here's one of the fruits from the Bush tree.

2. Oh yeah, like they freaking know "whose men" it came from

Thanks for posting this.

I saw the CNN coverage where U.S. soldiers shot the 12 year old shepard boy, Azizzila. The whole episode was horrific and nightmarish, and THAT is what they need to be showing on the news. Every night. Azizzila survived but was seriously wounded, and the family's sheep ran off because of the gunfire, and now they have NO visible mean's of support. Disgusting.

3. The juxtapostion hit me like a baseball bat.

They severely injured this young boy and the gunfire scattered his family's sheep. The family is now devastated. And Haliburton and KBR continue to go through millions of dollars a day.

4. War is a racket.

Gen Smedley Butler, read it and weep (again).

Did you actually see the CNN coverage? It was heinous and horrendous and a fucking nightmare. They need to show it every single night.
