"Iraqis, U.S. dispute deadly raid in new friction "

<snip>

The U.S. military said ground forces with air support killed 20 suspected al Qaeda militants, including two women, in an area where the Sunni Arab insurgency is strong.

Police and officials in Ishaqi, 90 km (50 miles) north of Baghdad, said the bodies of 17 civilians, including six women and five children, were found in the rubble of two homes.

"The Americans have done this before but they always deny it," Ishaqi Mayor Amer Alwan told Reuters by telephone. "I want the world to know what's happening here."

CHILDREN'S BODIES

Iraqiya state television on Friday said Iraq would hold a national reconciliation conference on December 16. It gave no details and it was not clear if Sunni Arab militant groups who oppose the political process would take part.

In Ishaqi, grieving relatives showed the bodies of five children wrapped in blankets to journalists. The houses were flattened in the raid.

6. Hi saigon. Tell me...
Are these bombings escalating much like the Vietnam bombings once it was concluded politically that we were losing? Or am I imagining things here?

8. No I don't think so
There is a "big push" to get some immediate results.

The more bombing, the more Murphy's Law comes into play with old women blown to bits, with photos

I think the military is restrained somewhat.

The difference in the wars, is that in this one there are no "free-lancers" or media to report the real everyday atrocities. If there were, we would be out of there already.

3. This is what irritates me about a lot of the rightwing...
they seem to think that they can just bomb the people and then they have won. They seem to forget that these are the people that they claim to be liberating or saving from Sadaam, is this how they are saving them.

This is why this country has so many enemies now, they don't see the people as people because they aren't living over here and they think that they will be safe and protected because they believe the Bushit and other shit in the past...

5. This makes me heartsick and angry. Especially after witnessing the
extravagance on display in DC this week- the decorations, parties, and the carefree attitudes of the architects of this carnage.

Gets to be too much for me sometimes.

7. this has been going on since the first day of the invasion . . .
I still have bookmarked pages from three years ago with literally hundreds of photos of the carnage inflicted on Iraq by U.S. bombing . . .

what we've done to this nation and its people is a crime against humanity of staggering proportions . . .
