The U.S. military acknowledged four deaths — a man, two women and a child — in the raid that they said netted an insurgent suspect in the rural Isahaqi area, about 50 miles north of the capital.

The victims, some wrapped in blankets, were driven in the back of three pickup trucks to the Tikrit General Hospital, about 45 miles to the north, relatives said.

Associated Press photographs showed the bodies of two men, five children and four other covered figures arriving at the hospital accompanied by grief-stricken relatives.

2. Will someone stop Bush

Hello world - we can't take any more of this.

5. hello America

In case you didn't know...US has nukes. So no Normandie, no Anzio will happen.

That means you are on your own taking the war criminals out.
They are atrocious but if they go so far, that the risk of nuke war is the lesser evil the US people will have fucked up that bad they'll be the pariahs for the next millenium.

Radiation? Thank the Americans
Barren continents? Thank the Americans
UV in lethal doses? Thank...
Mutated childbirths? ...

No honey

Economic sanctions will be as effective as it was with iraq and just consolidate power of the current elite. If outright war would be an option foreign troops would be battling in US cities.

The admin crisis has to be solved US-internally if the world hasn't to be turned to glass. This you can't delegate.

7. Confusion

The word raid, to me, means soldiers storming the house. But the mention of the house being bombed is confusing. What do they mean? Airstrike, RPG or what?

8. it is both

many times they drop bombs first then raid.

[madokie]

9. yep, drop the bombs first then go make sure they're all dead

This has gotten way out of hand.

11. Didn't Bush say it's better to err on the side of life?

Oh wait. Nothing he says should be taken at face value, because he's a giggling mass-murderer.
