Killing Women and Children: The “My Lai Phase” Of The Iraq War

[sasha031]

03/20/06 "ICH" -- -- What goes through George Bush’s mind when he sees the dead bodies of Iraqi women and children loaded on the back of a pickup truck like garbage? Is there ever a flicker of remorse; a split-second when he fully grasps the magnitude of the horror he has created? March 15 was another defining moment in America’s downward moral-spiral in Iraq. Eleven members of an Iraqi family were killed in a wanton act of slaughter executed by American occupiers. Photos taken at the scene show the lifeless bodies of young children, barely old enough to walk, lying motionless in the back of a flatbed truck while their fathers moan inconsolably at their side

What parent can look at these photographs and not be consumed with rage?The US military openly admits it attacked the house in Ishaqi where the incident took place. Reuters reports that, “Major Ali Ahmed of the Ishaqi police said US forces landed on the roof of the house in the early hours and shot the 11 occupants, including five children.”“After they left the house they blew it up”, he said. “The bodies, their hands bound, had been dumped in one room before the house was destroyed,” (policeman) Hussein said. Police had found spent American issue cartridges in the rubble.” (Reuters) The autopsy report at the Tikrit hospital said, “All the victims had gunshot wounds to the head”.

1. Your assuming bush actually see's dead bodies.

And even if he did I dont think he really cares.

2. I seriously doubt that Bush ever sees pictures like this. His staff

is probably afraid to bring scenes like this to his attention. His vision is limited to what can be seen through rose colored glasses. As far as taking responsibility is concerned, Bush only mouth the words. He has no idea what the word means.

3. Why should he worry his beautiful mind?

:puke:

Assuming he even sees the bodies or the destruction and that he cares, he is so entrenched in pseudo-patriotism and fundamentalism that he thinks it's a noble sacrifice.

4. In order to be pro war you have to look away from things like that

We are all good at looking away from things we don't really want to see.
