A picture of *'s work in Iraq (graphic)

[Botany]

This poor girl and her brother had her mom & dad shot in front of them
as they were driving in THEIR OWN country.

:cry:

Does * have any shame?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. no

they aren't rich, so they are expendible-as expendible as the soldiers who murdered their parents.

I tremble for the karma my country shall reap because of atrocities like this.

[katinmn]

2. No. No shame.

He is either evil or crazy or both.

9. pics like this should be on front pages of all newpapers everyday till

people awake from their slumbber (i know some never will).

15. Time and heart to take a picture

My mind says I wouldn't be able to take the time to take an actual photo of something like this. I've seen many though, even tsunami, that were posed and/or made up completely. Keep minds open and consider someone taking a pic of your child!

[meisje]

3. How many times does this photo need to be posted?

[katinmn]

7. a thousand times

[enough]

16. Maybe a hundred thousand?

Until it is actually seen.

4. We don't even COUNT the dead enemy or civilians.

We count dog deaths in America. Yes, shame on us.

[katinmn]

5. I would ask those that did this to these children

Where is the honor in this?

Is this what America stands for?

8. Accounts I read said there were quite a few kids. 5 or 6 IIRC.

Now traumatized, orphaned and REAL PRO-AMERICA.

[readmylips]

10. And I'm Proud to be an American where at least I ....

know I'm free to kill...God Bless the USA!

[katinmn]

18. I'm emailing a picture to the whole group of kids to my two

local papers asking them why this wasn't in the paper.

Why are they protecting Bush?

[Deja Q]

13. Is this an example of being pro-life, revolving around a bogus war?

x(

Atrocious. :cry:

[moobu2]

14. You guys know that this was happeneing about the same time

Condoleezza Rice was testifying before congress about her confirmation, answering questions about Iraq...I was looking at photo's on the Getty images site and they had Condi Rice's hearing photo's along side this series of photo's of these poor children who's parents were gunned down...
I copied the caption on one of each photo, here's one of Condi's,

Caption:
WASHINGTON - JANUARY 18: National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, President Bush's Secretary of State nominee, gestures during her confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee January 18, 2005 in Washington, DC. Democrats say they plan to question Rice about her role in the handling of faulty intelligence reports leading to the invasion of Iraq.

Here's one of the children's

Caption:
TAL AFAR, IRAQ - JANUARY 18: (***ITALY OUT***) An Iraqi girl screams after her parents were killed when U.S. Soldiers with the 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Stryker Brigade Combat Team of the 25th Infantry Division out of Ft.

17. Don't forget to give credit

to the "boys" who went out that night with homicidal intent dressed like Empire stormtroopers and armed to the teeth who actually pulled the trigger and wasted this poor little girl's parents.

Dubya can send all the troops to Iraq he wants, but if they refuse to go or kill then there's no war.

19. I just sent these 2 LTTEs. Feel free to use if you wish.

I sent this to the Star Tribune (Minneapolis):
I have to believe that part of the reason the American people patiently stand by and allow the Bush Administration to continue to commit atrocities in Iraq in our name is because they are unaware of the uncommon brutality against humanity. Why wasn't a photo of the five surviving children, riding in a car with their parents when they were gunned down by U.S. soldiers on January 18, shown on the front page of every newspaper in America? Why must citizens obtain news on our nation from other countries? Why is the media hiding the reality of U.S. aggression from the populace?

I sent this to the St. Paul Pioneer Press:
Is the U.S. media a complicit partner in the Bush Administration's war of aggression?

In order to make sense of a senseless war, I have to believe that most Americans are unaware of the uncommon brutality against humanity that is being waged in our name. Why wasn't a photo of the five surviving children, riding in a car with their parents when they were gunned down by U.S. soldiers on January 18, shown on the front page of every newspaper in America? Why is the media hiding the reality of U.S. aggression from the populace? Why must informed citizens turn to the international media in order to get a true picture of the outputs of our foreign policy?
