A thousand Fallujahs
I found this article here in DU, earlier. But I'm just getting to read it all the way though and had to stop and post it again. So sorry for the supe.

This read is so graphic that it feels like I'm watching a war movie. It's chilling.

"There are at least 120 mosques in Fallujah. A consensus is emerging that almost half of them have been smashed by air strikes and shelling by US tanks - something that will haunt the United States for ages. The mosques stopped broadcasting the five daily calls for prayer, but Fadhil Badrani, an Iraqi reporter for BBC World Service in Arabic and one of the very few media witnesses in Fallujah, writes that "every time a big bomb lands nearby, the cry rises from the minarets: 'Allahu Akbar' ". "

2. The Law of Karma won't be nice to the US.
Blowback from this whole Bush* regime is going to be harsh. Of course, the sheeple will find someone else to blame.

9. Karma??? aka "theory of relativity"
For every action, their's an equal reaction. I don't believe we have even began to see the negative reaction from the negative actions exhibited by this administration.

3. War crimes? Apparently the US is above such mundane International
laws.

The wounded in Fallujah are in essence left to die. There is not a single surgeon in town. And practically no doctors as well, as the Pentagon decided to bomb both the al-Hadar Hospital and the Zayid Mobile Hospital. So far, the International Committee of the Red Cross has reacted with thunderous apathy.

There is nothing we can do --

I do believe that the next step -- "mini" Nukes. Thinking that if the population is beaten to a bloody pulp they will kneel down to him.

Thanks for reposting -- DU is going so fast that I can't keep up.

5. These articles are horribly revealing
They show how the situation is turning into a Viet Nam search-and-destroy campaign. However, all of these articles lack pictures or video. To get this thing put down rock solid, there HAS to be pictures or video of this stuff somewhere. That would get the war stopped in a big hurry.

6. Bush's Mass Graves
Where will Bush be when they uncover the mass graves from his tenure as "Commander-in-Chief?

And who will he blame for them -- what am I saying -- Clinton, of course. (Or wait a minute, his new favorite -- the troops.)

"Today , I weep for my country."
