"Faith-based" hospital DESTROYED


This hospital was run by an Islamic charity (oops! Wrong "faith"!)

US strikes raze Falluja hospital
A hospital has been razed to the ground in one of the heaviest US air raids in the Iraqi city of Falluja.

Witnesses said only the facade remained of the small Nazzal Emergency Hospital in the centre of the city. There are no reports on casualties.

A nearby medical supplies storeroom and dozens of houses were damaged as US forces continued preparing the ground for an expected major assault.

UN chief Kofi Annan has warned against an attack on the restive Sunni city.

3. oh, that's what its called -- "preparing the ground"
Do we really have to put up with 4 more years of this EVIL???
I hope to God that the Democrats and the reasonable Republicans of Congress have a plan to get * and Cheney both impeached for war crimes.

I just got back from sorryeverybody.com and there were people on there fromthe UK, France and Australia on there saying they were sorry for US, which I thought was kind.

10. me might not have voted for BUsh
but we voted for a right wing arsehole who'll do anything for George as long as he keeps getting called a man of steal - Australians have NOTHING to feel superior or smug for - our population clearly also places dead Iraqi's low on our scale of priorities.

good point - unfortunately there's no such comfort for me - Howard didn't steal our election most of my fellow citizens actually voted for him.

If god even exists, I can think of absolutely no reason for her to do anything but turn her back on America.
