1. god help us. this nightmare will never end.

someone end it. Its so hard for me to watch the news, and see those sickening smiling talking heads on there bantering about the election and doing puff pieces on this and that and ignoring the bloodbath our kids are in, and ignoring what we are doing to everyone there and ignoring everything. Its like living in a living nightmare. I have nightmares every night, the collective unconcious I guess. Deep down people know its a bloodbath, but no one is speaking of it.
I hate these liars who support their own denial. How I hate them for these lies.

2. Attack Leaves 13 Iraqis Dead - CBS

 Troops opened fire Wednesday on two explosives-laden trucks that tried to plow through a Polish military camp south of Baghdad, triggering blasts that killed at least 13 people, including the two drivers and Iraqi civilians in a nearby neighborhood, coalition officials said.

More than 64 people were injured in the blasts, including at least 31 Iraqis, 12 Filipinos, 10 Poles, 10 Hungarians and an American, officials said. Polish Gen. Mieczyslaw Bieniek, commander of the 9,500-strong Polish military contingent, called it a "well coordinated terrorist attack."

1. In my opinion, the way CBS words this it makes me feel that it's mostly hurt the Iraqi so so what.
2. I think using the word 'terrorist' attack is false reporting. This was a country that was bombed, attacked and invaded by the Bush Crime Family. And many innocent, 20,000?, civilians were killed and thousands more amputated in the process. So when the rebels attack to remove the invaders I think a different term should be used.

3. More blood on your hands, George, you chickenhawk!

That's what I say ever morning when I hear the news about deaths in Iraq. Makes me sick.

4. Everyday brings more "progress"

like Bush's NG days were "honorable."

5. It's getting worse and the talking heads won't discuss it.

It's now been driven to the back of the consciousness of the Americans who are guilt ridden (but won't admit it) for starting this blood bath and now its like the reports from Israel about killings, bombings and maimings....its just become background noise "over there" and not to be discussed or thought about.

I am waiting for tens of thousands of our soldiers to come home (one day) and speak the truth and march in the streets and demand an end to IraqNam

This is beyond disgusting....its criminal and a war crimes tribunal has to one day be convened. At least maybe that would keep Smirk from traveling abroad (for fear of arrest), kinda like Kissinger's little "problem"...warrants for his fucking arrest.

6. Seems the flowers and the candy are

7. Blast shows deep Iraqi mistrust of Americans

Iraqis were probably asleep when two explosions hit a Polish-run military base, killing at least 11 people. But that didn't stop them from drawing the shocking conclusion that U.S. planes fired rockets at them.

"We heard the sound of a plane overhead and a rocket landed and then a second rocket landed," said Omar Zayed, 17, who lives near the site of the explosion." "It was the Americans."
