Another Fallujah and more war crimes....

"We have been informed that they are taking the men for interrogation and leaving women and children alone in their homes afraid and desperate for supplies," al-Daraji added.

Dr Ibraheem Mahmoud, a clinician at the emergency department of the local hospital in Salahuddine governorate, said that they have received telephone calls from inside the city from residents who spoke of dead bodies in streets and injured people without assistance.

"They were desperate and cannot be taken out from there. According to the information we have women and children are also victims," Mahmoud added. "Children are reported to be falling ill with chronic diarrhea and serious stomach problems".

More than 40 people have been treated in the local hospital with injuries caused by the air-strikes and 22 bodies have been taken to the hospital since 17 March.

1. war crime; violation of the Geneva Conventions.

But America doesn't have to abide by the GCs; only everyone else has to.

2. Are these goose steppers US Schutzstaffel or US Storm Troopers?

It is getting hard to keep track

3. Probably SS.

In WWII the SS would take entire populations of men from villages for "interrogation", while leaving the survivors to fend for themselves - until the second sweep through.

This has got to stop. How can the other nations in the world stand by and watch the US commit these atrocities and do nothing...

4. This will not stop, this will escalate.

We have allowed insult to invite injury.

5. I wonder that too

I wish someone would step up and demand the US pay for their war crimes. :(

6. Probably have to clean up the white phosphorous first.

7. Jesus Christ! You're probably right...
