1. You need to put a *GRAPHIC* warning in your title.

That's going to sketch some people out if they aren't ready for it.

[greenbriar]

3. sorry

added it

[ContraBass Black]

7. I don't see a picture.

[greenbriar]

9. it is the first picture when you are at rosie.com

of a little girl with horrible disfigurement

[mike_c]

2. K&R for the TRUTH....

:kick:

[moonlady0623]

4. ????

Are you saying Rosie and friends are terrorists?????????? Or did I miss something????

[greenbriar]

5. oh my gawd, did you crawl out from a rock?

???

[moonlady0623]

6. well...

no....

I followed the link to rosie's blog, thinking maybe she'd posted a horrific photo of a child maimed in Iraq, but no such photo....just rosie's blog....

therefore I can only assume that you are implying that Rosie et al are the "real terrorists."

To which I reply...WTF?

[greenbriar]

8. there is a photo of a child

and you apparently are the only one not seeing it?



reserving judgement, but my tail is tingling

[Zandor]

10. The link looks like it's to the homepage

So what people see when they go there might change as it's updated.

[moonlady0623]

12. Exactly

I'm one of Rosie's blog readers and do not recall seeing such a photo.

I DID see one on Truthout this morning however......so sad.

[DesertRat]

14. The photo is on Rosie's front page right now

It's horrific. And it's the truth.

[MadAsHellAgain]

20. Where's your logic?

A child is horribly maimed by a car bomb and we are the terrorists? The car bomb was used to target that little girl or people just like her, innocent civilians. It hit exactly the people it was intended to hit but we're the bad guys? Why?

[uppityperson]

23. Had we not occupied Iraq, what are the odds this child would have been injured in a car bombing?

Question: Had we not occupied Iraq, what are the odds this child would have been injured in a car bombing? Your answer is? I would welcome you to DU but don't think it'd be worth it.

[greenbriar]

24. BINGO

BINGO BINGO

[uppityperson]

28. !

search can be instructive also. I did what I needed to do for the next thing too. May need to watch for a while more though, not sure. Sorry if obscure.

[newyawker99]

35. Hi MadAsHellAgain!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[TahitiNut]

16. Here's the image - a scan from a newspaper photo. (moderately GRAPHIC)

[Contrary1]

11. This child was injured in a car bombing at a Baghdad market...

according to the caption. So whoever blew up the car is the terrorist.

[moonlady0623]

13. Now I see it

Same photo on Truthout.....

Question: Had we not occupied Iraq, what are the odds this child would have been injured in a car bombing?

[greenbriar]

15. exactly

we SHOULD NOT BE THERE

[moonlady0623]

18. TOTALLY AGREE

I keep thinking about what Molly Ivans said - about making noise to end this mess - and wondering how to get that going...........................given the full time job ill husband acre etc....

maybe a lawn sign with a peace symbol will make me feel better....

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. Looks like your argument blew up in your face

The people setting off the car bombs are surely terrorists.

Is that what you meant?

[greenbriar]

22. to each other...we are policing a civil war

and it is about time WE LEFT

[Contrary1]

17. Probably zero.

I'm not defending our presence in Iraq. Just pointing out that the child was
not injured by American troops for those that didn't notice the caption.

[moonlady0623]

21. Probably Zero

Wasn't thinking you were supporting war...more a rhetorical question.

No worries

[Squatch]

25. What's the reverse of a slippery slope argument?

[leftchick]

29. what about the terrorists who did this

and please remember there was not a single fucking car bomb anywhere in Iraq before the US occupation.




Two Iraqi men are seen by the ruins of a damaged train station building after a U.S. air strike on the al-Abbasiya railway, about six kilometers northwest of Samarra 95 kilometers (60 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraq, on Monday, June 4, 2007. The American warplanes and helicopters shelled al-Abbasiya railway, and later the land forces attacked the station, killing four people including two women and detaining 20 people, some wounded, police said.(AP Photo/Hameed Rasheed)

[Contrary1]

34. "please remember there was not a single fucking car bomb anywhere in Iraq before the US occupation."

Yes, there were. Several back in the 90's.

[leftchick]

36. do you have a link for that?

and you didn't answer the terrorist question.

[Contrary1]

37. Yes, and yes I did...

"Before the invasion, suicide bombings were unheard of in Iraq. The 1990's had some car bombs in Baghdad, which bewildered Iraqis and it would seem were generated by former US darling Iyad Allawi's Iraq National Accord."

http://robert.blogspirit.com/archive/2007/04/16/iraq-erasing-history.html


"Since March 1992, Kurdish fears of saboteurs have been heightened by an apparent poisoning incident and two fatal car-bomb explosions."

"Responsibility was neither claimed nor determined for a car bomb that exploded outside a Kurdish political office in central Suleimaniyya on March 6, 1992, killing twelve persons; or for another bomb that exploded in a market in Irbil on March 16, reportedly killing three people and injuring some 25."

Post #11: This child was injured in a car bombing at a Baghdad market...
according to the caption. So whoever blew up the car is the terrorist.

[leftchick]

42. I meant the US terrorists that blew up the Train station and killed innocents

as they have been doing daily for years now.

[MadBadger]

26. Just to be clear, who are you referring to as the terrorists?

[greenbriar]

27. the people we are policing during their civil war

and that is what it is


a civil war that we have no business in




oh and GEORGE BUSH and His ADMIN

[MadBadger]

30. So are we talking the American troops and The Bush admin.

Not just the Bush Administration, correct?

[greenbriar]

31. NO...WAKE THE FUCK UP

THERE WERE NOT CAR BOMBS UNTIL WE GOT THERE

WE ARE THERE BECAUSE OF FUCKING BUSH AND HIS ADMIN


OUR SOLDIERS NEED TO COME HOME

BEFORE WE LOSE MORE OF THEM


JEBUS...IS THIS SO HARD

[MadBadger]

33. Well that is not what your post said

You said the people policing the Civil war AND the bush Admin. So who are the first set of people you were talking about?

[greenbriar]

43. no, I said the people we ARE policing during THEIR civil war

the people we are policing during their civil war

41. Leave the f**king soldiers alone

The soldiers don't set policy. They're working their asses off, sacrificing sleep and risking their lives and health out of faith in their country.

Get off your high horse.

[tammywammy]

38. You're right, people who set off car bombs are terroritst

[StudentsMustUniteNow]

39. Umm...we're not terrorists

The girl was injured by Iraqi insurgents. Not Americans. If you're implying that our brave brothers and sisters out there are terrorists, then I can politely tell you to go make love to yourself.

[LBJDemocrat]

40. The insurgents are the terrorists

This goes to show how off her rocker Rosie is.

The American troops are out there risking their lives for the United States, and this is what they get in return?

[greenbriar]

44. oh for shits sakes

the people we are policing during their civil war

and that is what it is


a civil war that we have no business in




oh and GEORGE BUSH and His ADMIN
