U.S. occupation forces have killed more than 800 people, most of them innocent civilians, in their three-week long military campaign to subdue the Mahdi Army in Sadr City, the leader of Sadr movement in Baghdad said. Sheikh Salaman al-fariji said the troops have also injured more than 1,800 people and caused large-scale destruction of private property and the city’s rickety infrastructure. Fariji made the remarks as he accompanied a delegation of 20 members of parliament on a tour of the impoverished city home to more than 2 million people. U.S. troops have imposed a tight embargo on the city and bombing by war planes and helicopter gun ships in the densely populated Baghdad neighborhood continued even during the MPs’ tour. Falah Shanshal, an MP, said the group would write to the parliament to lift the siege of Sadr City and reach a peaceful solution to the standoff with Mahdi Army. Mahdi Army is the military wing of Sadr movement which has 30 deputies in parliament. “The MPs were shocked by the scale of damage,” said Fariji. Shanshal said: “The people of Sadr City undergo horrific humanitarian conditions as a result of U.S. military operations and embargo.”

They are Iraqi. If we had any respect for them we'd let them have their country.

Don't F*** with the U.S. Military...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, So much for Liberating the country.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Zionist Israeli Devised Terrorism Tactics in Action. Only when the "Troops" wake up 'en masse' and realize that they're following the orders of Israel and that the "war" is all about and for Israel, will there be any hope. Will Iran be able to 'Kick some Ass' and make things right?
yes MUD! the US military is very powerful. by far the best in the world, it truly is. the foreigners like to ridicule our military. but the reality is that our military has kicked ass in so many wars for so long. so frequently against superior numbers as well. and we have weapons and systems of warfare that the foreigners don't even understand or know about. but it does us no good. It only makes us enemies. We are 5% of the world's population. What good will it do in the long run for the rest of the world to hate us? and then consider that it is wrong for us to kill them. They did not attack us. we attacked them. Their leader Saddam Hussein was at one time a US puppet. and we kill them for it. Rome was sacked. The same will happen to us.
Revelation 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
The rest of the world doesn't hate us. Do you think the Germans and the Japanese hate us for liberating them from brutally-militaristic regimes? Do you think the South Koreans hate us for protecting them from the North Koreans and Chi-Coms? Nawww...America is a nation of liberators, not conquerors, and that makes all the difference in the world...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, Hell yeah, they are being liberated...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, All for Israel. I think volunteers to the military now really have to be retards.

This is what LIBERATION looks like?

Yes. I think they want nothing more than to get revenge on the USA. It will happen soon too.

This is what Obama will give you more of he is elected.

The japanese & germans do not hate us over WW2. that is true. The S. Koreans loved us for a long time. Now they hate us though. We are not liberators in Iraq. They hate us. The whole world is learning to hate us. Bush & his friends are teaching them to. They'll come here to our country. We'll have to fight them.

I know we want to be a nation of liberators. But the ones who rule us have made us a nation of conquerors.

These troops are too stupid to wake up. They are there to kill and get a paycheck, nothing more.
God is always good!
you're probably right, I think you are. But people don't know that and they want to have hope for the future, it is only normal to want that.

Some of them do.

Dees does great work. I wonder if he gets paid decently for it. He probably has a real job. Who will speak to our people? Who will lead them? We have to wait until it is time. The foreigners will invade us. That is when it will be time. our discontent grows. feeding our fury. the day will come.

sadly. you're way too accurate.

That's bullkrap, nothing more...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, Considering that Obama was the only one of the 3 candidates to speak out strongly against the Iraq war BEFORE we invaded, naming Wolfowitz and Perle by name, I have more than a little hope that Obama will get us out. He is also the only major candidate with a timeline for removing our combat troops.

you are perfectly rational, reasonable and correct in every point. I just don't have it in me to vote for him. I don't want to vote for another one that did what Bush did. I voted Bush in 2000, not in 2004. I so hope I'm wrong. and I would rather have Obama win than the other 2. If we are to go into large-scale war mode, then I'd rather the world know that we put in office a man who at least looked more hopeful than the others.

As a former "Troop" I can only agree. Not "stupid" as in unintelligent. Stupid as in "Deceived" and conditioned by "Behavior Modification" training/indoctrination. The Troops have effectively been trance-formed into Zio-Bots. "Follow Orders!" "Don't talk back!"
No kidding about that! Course, they have a slightly different view point, from their highly successful education in the government schools.....
When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest. ++++++++++ Attention, Shrub; A life of evil is ultimately a life of wretchedness.
Nonono you just don understand, man! 'They' gave me 20,000 pieces of paper... er, $20,000 dollars MAN!! What's not to like about this?!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why, with that, man, I can put a down payment on a nice car!! And the FREE MEDICAL!! It's really great man!!

Good reminder, these are our troops. Ron Paul was their favorite candidate too, which means they have not all been fooled.

"We" would, if they didn't have all that oil underneath them and weren't in such proximity to Mother Israel. A half century of Hollywood Zionist propaganda has rendered that part about "respect" impossible. The neocons have succeeded in convincing the vast majority of Americans that Arabs and indeed all Muslims are not really human and one needn't worry about this kind of slaughter any moreso than if one fumigated 700 cockroaches. The Jews are the new Nazis and the Muslims are the new Jews.

That was very encouraging to see. But war is like a "screening" or "selection" process. Many Troops are truly revulsed by the predicament they've been ordered into. The blood and killings hang heavy on their conscience. In time many come to enjoy the "power" and "authority" of the occupation mission. The killings and bloodshed give rise to an incredible "high." They become very proficient in the art of taking lives without thought or remorse. It becomes an addictive habit. They're referred to as "Animals" by those who are yet sane. These guys delight in "blowing away" those who don't support their blood lust. There are many, many unexplained "friendly fire" incidents which have taken place under very suspicious circumstances among the Special Forces. The Animals have their records "tagged" with "code words." They are noticed and "selected" for advanced Special Forces programs training. Those who have a conscience and can't take it anymore are tagged as "psycho" and eventually return home as severely depressed. If they don't kill themselves in the war zone first. Large numbers kill themselves after returning home. The memories of the ruthless killings of women and children haunt them horrifically. The guilt is unbearable. The suicides are not counted as casualties of the war.
That's probably the best explanation I've read on this, but now I feel a bit sick.

Makes me sick too. There is consolation in the truth that they, and all of us, will be healed in the world to come. Not one will be forgotten or overlooked. Every one that has ever been "conceived" will be restored to life. Gotta go through some Ugly stuff to get there though.
They're here ... sitiing in the highest offices of the nation ... like the Oval Office for example.
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)
can't argue with you.

Scientific Fact. Has to be.
I shall not vote for evil, lesser or otherwise.
