Coalition Warplanes Fire Near Fallujah
Edited on Sat May-14-05 06:35 PM by bemildred
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Coalition warplanes fired precision-guided missiles near Fallujah on Saturday, destroying two unoccupied buildings that the military identified as an insurgent command center.

U.S. Marines based in the area said the targeted buildings were about 20 miles northwest of Fallujah, the scene of a large scale November campaign west of Baghdad to rout militants responsible for multiple attacks.

``Coalition aircraft today bombed two unoccupied buildings outside Fallujah that had been used as an insurgent command center, weapons hide site and detention and possible torture facility,'' the military said in a statement.

Oh yeah, and al Zarqawi used to have gay sex with babies just dumped
out of their incubators there too, bad bad place, but we nailed it,
no threat there now, another victory for us. Yup.


Ground forces inspected the site after the bombings and discovered mortar rounds, machine gun ammunition, homemade bomb making materials and anti-coalition propaganda, the statement added.

I must say it was nice of the munitions to remain intact during
the bombing.

3. How many times will our soldiers have to 'take' Fallujah?
Damn this is so reminiscent of Viet Nam....re-taking the same ground over and over....a guerilla war without end

5. That was going to be my comment
how many times to we need to take Fallujah? I remember the US took over Fallijah a while ago. Thought the US occupied it? I feel like I'm going in reverse on this so called war.

6. wha????????
"It was unclear what country the planes came from or if the attack caused any casualties. Fallujah is 40 miles west of Baghdad."

We don't want the Iraqi insurgents patriots to know who bombing the shit out of them?

7. The ruins of Fallujah re-bombed...
Edited on Sat May-14-05 06:48 PM by Darranar
They had this "precision" nonsense before the second massacre too.

At least they're unoccupied this time.

This seems to be utterly pointless carnage. Of course, most of what is done in Iraq these days seems to be.

9. How to Coverup Heinous War Crimes?
Bomb Away All The Evidence!!!

I guess that taking truckloads of poisoned dirt out wasn't going so well. Wonder what they'll do when the pictures of the victims in Fallujah come out? I have NEVER seen such horrible pictures, even the Vietnam napalm pictures were not this terrible. There was something very evil done there, and I've never believed in actual Evil until the neocons managed their coup of our government. Evil acts, yes. Truly Evil people, I just never believed in collective Evil before.

I'm thinking of printing out those pictures and handing them out to freepers. If they think they've seen horror movies, they'll see true horror with these pictures from Dahr Jamails website:
http://dahrjamailiraq.com/
DO NOT VIEW if you have a weak stomach or are easily disturbed by death, hell even those not easily disturbed will have a hard time with the images on this website. I sure did.

Peace to All, and may the neocons rot in their own private hell for this. (I don't feel so peaceful toward neocons, sorry Gandhi and HH the Dalai Lama!)

10. Imagine how empty-headed the Guardian/AP people are who print this.
