Eyewitness: Smoke and corpses

US troops, backed by Iraqi forces, are locked in a fierce fight to wrest the city of Falluja from rebel control. The BBC News website spoke by phone to Fadhil Badrani, an Iraqi journalist and resident of Falluja who reports regularly for Reuters and the BBC World Service in Arabic. We are publishing his and other eyewitness accounts from the city in order to provide the fullest possible range of perspectives from those who are there:

~~~~~~~~

From my window, I can also make out that the minarets of several mosques have been toppled. There are more and more dead bodies on the streets and the stench is unbearable. Smoke is everywhere.

~~~~~~~~

It is hard to know how much people outside Falluja are aware of what is going on here. I want them to know about conditions inside this city - there are dead women and children lying on the streets. People are getting weaker from hunger. Many are dying from their injuries because there is no medical help left in the city whatsoever. Some families have started burying their dead in their gardens.

2. What a crime.................

have they found Osama Bin Laden there yet? He's the one responsible for 9/11.......or maybe Bush hasn't read the PDB on that yet. The harm that Bush has unleashed on Iraq, not to mention the harm that will come OUR way because of his actions, is going to be the subject of many books for years to come. History will not judge Mr. Bush with a very favorable light. He is a criminal of the first order.

3. Remember those Abortion pictures paraded by "Pro-lifers"?

Well time to get enlargements of carnage from Falluja and stand and shout at those holy fruit cakes as they go into church after reinstalling the Killer Chimp.
