1. This is the one they refused comment on hours ago...

Edited on Thu Feb-17-05 02:09 PM by leftchick

they said there were Iraqi police casualties but no American casualties. Liars. The truth eventually comes out in the photo captions...

from yesterday...

A young man at left, chants in support of insurgents, saying 'Long life, Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)' at the scene of a car bombing which struck a convoy of Stryker combat vehicles from the U.S. Army 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, injuring four soldiers, in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2005. The vehicle pictured, was not part of the military convoy but was struck by the blast from the suicide-bomber's vehicle. (AP Photo)

RIP soldiers... :(

5. Task Force Freedom Soldier?!

What's that? A new right wing superhero toy from Hasbro?

Jesus, you know they're desperate when they even use brand names for their invaders.

7. car bomb?

It must have been a drunk Iraqi who was celebrating his newly-given freedom and accidently drove into a U.S. convoy. Hey, drunk driving is dangerous!
