Bodies found in Iraq town after US offensive-doctor

RAMADI, Iraq, Nov 12 (Reuters) - An Iraqi Red Crescent doctor said on Saturday more than 50 bodies had been found in the rubble of a town near the Syrian border which U.S.-led troops swept through this week in an anti-insurgent offensive.

<snip>
As residents started to trickle back to Qusayba in recent days, doctor Saif al-Ani, who works for the Red Crescent in the Qaim area, told Reuters they had unearthed at least 54 bodies in the rubble, including some women and children.

1. Indiscriminate bombing without reliable intelligence is a disgrace

2. I think bombing in any city where there are innocents
regardless of "intelligence" is a War Crime.

3. The more they find this war slipping out of control...
... the more "insurgents" are going to be targeted.

It's like Reagan pointlessly shelling the hills around Beiruit to cover an ignominious retreat from Lebanon.

4. Just like the figure 'signing' in the corner of the television screen
for the hearing impaired, I think there should be a runner underneath television news stories stating in plain language what the PC words mean;

(Insurgents were killed)= "Note, CNN advises listeners that the U.S. military cannot selectively kill combatants only. Figures of 'insurgents' killed from bombings for instance most certainly include unknown numbers of innocent men, women and children. CNN understands that you are paying for this war and deserve to know exactly how your dollars are being spent."

5. The United States of America (George W. Bush version):
"Not only will we kill you, we'll lie and denigrate your memory afterward!"

Sickening... Fucking despicable. I guess that when white people try to rid their countries of invaders, it's A-OK, but when non-whites try to take back their homelands, they "hate freedom", and are "terrorist insurgents".

F-U-C-K-I-N-G Disgusting... :banghead:
