I guess they won't be needing that anymore. The slaughtered dead don't need healing.

What part of thou shalt not kill, don't they understand?

You can't follow Jesus, if you are a follower of Bush.

5. Unbelievable
The article doesn't barely mention the hospital, just talks about Falluja (SP?) more than anything else.

My god, but we're an asshole country these days.

~A!

8. We are being controlled by some of the most evil men in history
And half our fellow citizens condone this!!!! How 59 million people could be that stupid is beyond me, to vote for genocidal sociopaths that will say in one breath we are "liberators" and in the next breath flatten hospitals and murder thousands.

GOD FUCKING HELP DELIVER US FROM THIS EVIL

12. precision bombs are as precise as the voting machines
So now we know who made the voting machines -- from the gang that can't shoot straight.

In other thread -- this hospital was run by an Islamic charity. Which makes me think that the hospital was leveled on purpose.

So which is it -- the bomb was "hiding" the current mythical bad guy or the it was bombed by mistake?

14. From the article....
US marine officers say the full-scale attack will go ahead only once Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi has given the order.


So, Kerry was ruthlessly ripped apart for *wanting a global test* to keep America safe from terrorism..... (*'s words)

And an Iraqi is commanding our troops?

This is truly beyond my comprehension.

16. "They say militants loyal to top al-Qaeda suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi ...
... are hiding there."

Oh. They say. Gee. So that's what excuses the obliteration of a hospital and dozens of innocent lives these days?

Let's follow the "logic" train ...

<1> There are people there. (O.K. It's a city. Big deal.)

<2> They're "hiding." (Seems like a perfectly reasonable reaction to 10,000 foreign invaders surrounding your city with tanks, and bombing it with the strongest Air Force in the world. But hey? What do I know?)

<3> Some of <2> are accused of being "militants." (Based on what? They have guns? They march? They protest? Hmmm. Last I heard, we have millions and millions of those in this country.)

<4> Some of <3> are accused of being "loyal" to al-Zarqawi. (Is this mind-reading or did they register a loyalty oath at city hall? Maybe they're relatives? Maybe they go to the same mosque? Maybe they were in the Goy Scouts together?)

<5> al-Zarqawi is a "top suspect." (Oh? Like Richard Jewell? Wow! Wait! Richard Jewell isn't a "suspect" anymore.)

So ... some people ... hiding ... accused ... accused ... thinking ... suspect.
Got it.

Tell me ... where are those Weapons of Mass Destruction again?

God damned fucking murdering Bushocchio war criminals! :grr:

17. How much $$,$$$,$$$ of a Halliburton job is that to rebuild it?
I'm sure we'll be rebuilding it once we... Oh hell, I don't know what we're doing over there.

18. They won't rebuild it.
The rulers want to skim as much $$$$$$ as possible. there are better ways to do that than to "BUILD" a hospital.

19. After all, these dead are "only" Iraqis
which Falwell and Robertson, who delivered the Religious Right to Bush said needed to be killed for their Islamic beliefs. Bushco marches on in his Jihad.

21. Allawi is studying Sharonspeak
He said if Mr Annan thought he could prevent insurgents in Falluja from "inflicting damage and killing", he was welcome to try.

Boy that has a fucking familiar ring to it.

22. Now we're mocking Kofi Annan, it seems!
Yep, certain "Americans" have despised the U.N. since the 1960's. The very thought of diplomacy, and communication rubs some of them the wrong way, apparently. Why lower yourself to speak with someone when you could simply kill him, instead?

From the article:
In a letter to the leaders of the US, UK and Iraq, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan warned that the use of force risked alienating Iraqis when their support for elections was vital.

But Mr Allawi called the letter "confused".
(snip)
Somehow, I can hear Bush's voice delivering that snotty remark. "Confused!" You bet.

27. hmm we atatcked a hospital run by a SAUDI ARABIAN
Charity.

Ok... aprat of the OBVIOUS Geneva Convention Violation... anybody else notice the Saudi Arabian connection? What exactly is George trying to tell his friend Bandar Bush here?

(To play devil's advocate, before you folks stone me... reading the Age of Sacred Terror there might have been a vaiid reason... and yes I can think of one and his name is NOT zarqawi by by they way, our modern Goldstein... but rather Wahabism itself)

Now taht I have actually asked that question, back to what the hell where they thinking even if they want to send a message to the Saudi Royal family? Attacking hospitals, way to go... that means OUR hosptials are now fair play... maybe.
