[leftchick]

Every American should be made to see what the "pro-life" CIC* has done...




Doctors try to revive baby Abdul Khalil after he sustained fatal injuries during an air raid in Fallujah, Iraq (news - web sites), Thursday, Sept. 9, 2004. American warplanes fired missiles on a building used by an al-Qaida-linked militant group in the rebel stronghold of Fallujah early Thursday, the U.S. military said.The military said intelligence showed that three associates of Jordanian-born militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi were in the area when jets unleashed a precision strike. Dr. Ahmad Thair of the Fallujah General Hospital said five people were killed, including two women and a child, and nine others injured in the strike. The U.S. military had no information about casualties. (AP Photo / Abdul Khader Sadi)

1. nice job, troops!

[Spentastic]

3. Just following orders

Etc etc etc. It seems that following orders actually involves killing babies but calling people baby killers would upset these brave heroic soldiers who are just doing their brave heroic duty by actually following orders that directly lead to the deaths of babies.

[Pigkiller]

23. War is hell.

Innocent people will die. No getting around it. Lay off the troops. Would you rather have them dead?

[sui generis]

25. it's not the troops under attack - it's the war

We are there for the wrong reasons, and we're incompetent to remain there, and these policies come from the top.

[Misunderestimator]

27. Welcome to DU. Yes, war is hell and no one said anything about troops

[DrWeird]

29. Feel the same way about the 9-11?

It's only war. What's the big deal?

[moderatepenguin]

2. They're still

trusting intelligence? Little Abu certainly looks like a militant to me...

</snark>

That's gonna haunt me...

[Rainbowreflect]

4. Well at least the baby was born, that is all that matters to many.

Sorry, this just pisses me off & makes me very sad at the same time.

[leftchick]

5. "pro-fetus"

you said it well Rainbowreflect. That is all that matters to the "pro-lifers" like * . Once it is born who cares? It is refected in all of his actions...

:grr:

[Q]

6. It is a WAR CRIME to bomb residential areas...

...not that the Bushies (or most Democrats) give a shit.

- Denial on a massive scale.

[G_j]

7. ashamed, speechless kick

[leftchick]

8. Another "insurgent"in Baghdad.....

...I thank God for these photographers who dare to tell the truth with their lenses.

[leftchick]

10. Some photos don't require captions...

At least 38 people were killed when US-led forces spearheaded overnight assaults on Iraq (news - web sites)'s northern trouble spot of Tall Afar and the notorious insurgent bastion of Fallujah, officials said.(AFP/Fares Dlimi)








We won't be seeing these images on our "tv news"... :puke:

[donkeyotay]

24. these photos should be on the news (but we know they won't)

The American people shouldn't be shielded from the consequences of our choices. Whether people think this is justified to prevent deaths of our own troops or not, this "collateral damage" is a consequence of our choice for war.

Many Americans made that choice readily, even eagerly. The consequences shouldn't be hidden. A free people must have free access to the facts.

Thanks for these leftchick.

[bread_and_roses]

11. I am so ashamed

If our spineless press were doing its' job I still believe most people in the US would react with outrage to our burning, blasting, dismembering children.

And some still think the Iraqis should love us for "liberating" them. Would we love a country that was killing OUR children?

[AntiCoup2K4]

12. But but but they're all terra-ists!!

I mean look at em, their skin's brown and they got funny names! What more evidence do you need??

/freep brainless mode :crazy:

[gulfcoastliberal]

13. Shameful and awful...

If you listen to the interview with Aaron Brown on Pacifica radio (about a year ago), you get an idea of why the media whores refuse to show the carnage. They just prefer to ignore reality and keep everyone happy with fluffy fluff.

[BrendaStarr]

32. News is supported by advertising

Now really depressing stuff causes people to stop shopping.

Ergo..

No really depressing news as long as it can be hidden.

[Aidoneus]

14. stop spreading terrorist lies, leftchick

This was a precision strike on a command center in the notorious insurgent bastion. That is obviously a senior al-Qa`idah commander.

World leaders have been seen to line up in their breathless condemnation of this vicious terrorist atrocity, and commit themselves to fighting the evil ideology behind it. ...wait, they haven't? Oh. The sort must only be wrong sometimes.

[leftchick]

15. That is pretty much the way CNN told it a few minutes ago...

"This was a precision strike on a command center in the notorious insurgent bastion. That is obviously a senior al-Qa`idah commander."

... though they did mention a "few" civilians were wounded and killed
in the operation.

:eyes:

[Aidoneus]

21. I know

I cobbled that bullshit together from US commander/spokesbot rubbish that accompianed some of the pictures at the link you gave.

al-Jazeera has an even more startling image, an hourish ago it was their lead story.

[livinginphotographs]

16. This is just disgusting.

He really looks like an insurgent to me.

I just don't understand this; the Iraqis don't want us there, and yet we stay. All we're doing is creating more and more "terrorists."

[NeonLX]

17. Eh. Who cares?

We're over in that heathen country doin' the Lord's work. So what if some brown folks that ain't got the sense to worship the right God gets in the way? Kill 'em all and let the Lord sort 'em out later. When you been appointed by The Almighty, ya gotta bomb who you gotta bomb.
----------------------------------

I just want it to fucking stop.

[donkeyotay]

18. It's a "no-go zone," so we just fly over and drop bombs on them

But the bombs are very, very smart, you see. So they only kill insurgents. They don't kill civilians. Why heck, that'd be a war crime.

[Zynx]

19. Clearly an insurgent.

Probably found him with an RPG in his arms. Damn liberals </freeper>

[skygazer]

20. We hear so much about "precision strikes"

About how effective our military has gotten at lessening civilian casualties. We hear about these "smart bombs" that can pinpoint a location. Why, then, are we seeing so many dead Iraqi women and children? The Administration refuses to realease any numbers of dead and wounded Iraqis - they don't even mention the number of wounded Americans and barely acknowledge the American dead. Yet I keep hearing people say, "better we fight over there than have them fighting us here" and I want to scream "but THEY weren't fighting us!"

New York City: Relatives of 9/11 victims

For reasons that the Bush administration refuses to
explain, the Security and Exchange Commission, the
FBI, and the CIA, have been unable to determine who
purchased these options.

It has been suggested that Deutschebank-Alex Brown,
where many of these options were purchased, is either
being uncooperative or it lost or misplaced any records
that would shed light on the purchaser's
identity--which is a brazen absurdity, and which raises
questions about Deutschebank-Alex Brown.

26. The most disturbing part of FH911 was the little Iraqi boys head getting

stitched up. He's cries of pain haunt me.

28. "Mission Accomplished". A "decisive" leader. So was Hitler.

With the same results.

30. US got some bad guys in Sadr City as well....

31. Sadr City: Poor people abused under Saddam..

and now the repetitive target of US strikes. Victimized over and over. So pitiful how we always end up attacking the poor neighborhoods.
