Does that Repuke dad give a shit about this? Dozens killed, wounded in US
Dozens killed, wounded in US air strike (new overnight Fallujah massacre)

Dozens killed, wounded in US air strike
Friday 17 September 2004

At least 16 people were killed and 25 wounded in overnight strikes by the US air force near the city of Falluja in the al-Anbar province, Iraqi hospital sources said.

Several strikes on the village of Zoba, some 7kms south of the city of Falluja, demolished 13 houses, the sources and witnesses said early on Friday morning.

"We have received 25 wounded, 15 dead, and more are coming in the ambulances," Ahmad Thaer, a doctor at the Falluja general hospital said.

Witness Ahmad Sulayman told AFP at the hospital: "I counted at least 27 bodies in the wreckage of the houses and many casualties were taken to Abu Ghraib hospital."

Thaer also said one person was killed and nine wounded in another raid on Falluja's Shuhada neighbourhood, which has been repeatedly targeted by the US air force.

Oh! The OUTRAGE I feel over a Repuke's sign being torn up while he's using his kid as a human shield!

1. Think there weren't any cute little three year old girls in those houses?
Gee...I sure hope you're right.

3. Oh yeah...there's plenty
of latent (or not so latent) racism at work here.

Racially, they are Caucasians, i.e. White, and are closer genteically to the Arian tribes than most other Caucasians. Since Arians came from North East Babylonia. They are not Anglos axons, if that is what you meant, but that is a nationality not a racial group.

...Just like Himmler who ordered millions of people who were actually more Arian than him to the gas chambers for not being "Arian." A bunch of modern day troglodytes are using the "sand nigger" approach to dehumanize people who they consider inferior racially, when those people accused of not being white are actually far closer to the Arian root than them.

And don't forget: Iraq is the craddle of our Western civilization.

4. As a parent, I have one question for the dumb dad.
Why did you put your daughter in such a volatile situation, and when the sign was ripped, why didn't you remove her from your shoulders immediately to check and see if she was ok, instead of holding her firm on your shoulders?

Did you know the person who ripped the sign down, and, therefore, knew your daughter had not been injured?

I think if a stranger came up to my shouldered son and ripped something out of his hands, I would have immediately taken him down and checked him out.

The more I think about this, the more it appears staged.

Let's get some psychological experts on this one to say that a dad who REALLY loved his kid wouldn't be doing what that clown was doing right then...must be staged!!

7. You don't wear your War Eagle gear and

take your little kid to sit on the Alabama side when the Tide plays Auburn, unless you are stupid or want to provoke an incident. People can act like idiots at ball games, political rallies, concerts, etc. Anytime you get a large crowd of people together, bad stuff can happen. Knowing this is just common sense.

I'm sorry the child was frightened, but annoyed with the father who put her in that situation.

9. My problem isn't with anyone except
those who weren't sorry. Those who were mocking or cheering. Small perhaps. But hate is hate. Substitute Iraqi for little girl. Substitute black kid for little girl.

Hate is hate, and will not be tolerated, by me at least. Delete me if you must, I will wear that deletion proudly.

10. Gee, I don't hear our candidates saying anything about Fallujah either!
and not a word as to how to get out of Iraq, other than calling Chirac on the phone and begging him to send French troops to die for our mistake.
