Witnesses Say U.S. Forces Killed Unarmed Civilians

Allegations of widespread abuse by US forces in Fallujah, including the killing of unarmed civilians and the targeting of a hospital in an attack, have been made by people who have escaped from the city.

They said, in interviews with The Independent, that as well as deaths from bombs and artillery shells, a large number of people including children were killed by American snipers. US forces refused repeated calls for medical aid for injured civilians, they said.

Some of the killings took place in the build-up to the assault on the rebel stronghold, and at least in one case - that of the death of a family of seven, including a three-month baby - the American authorities have admitted responsibility and offered compensation.

The refugees from Fallujah describe a situation of extreme violence in which remaining civilians in the city, who have been told by the Americans to leave, appeared to have been seen as complicit in the insurgency. Men of military age were particularly vulnerable. But there are accounts of children as young as four, and women and old men being killed.

because they support the war because he bu$h, is saving us US, from the terrorists?

our enemies are religious zealots (nut cases) and bush understands that sort of person -- so this guy wanted an equally religious nut to take on the Islamic nuts.

I really doubt this guy understands that fighting fire with fire is not necessarily the smartest way to fight a fire. Seems like bush is the greatest recruiter the Osamas bin Laudins of the world have ever had. And that this is just how to increase the violence -- and revenge. At this rate bush could start the next 1000 year war -- IF humans manage to survive that long. More like bush has started the war on the path to human extinction.
