WARNING graphic photo of US soldier pulling body of a US soldier from tank
A U.S. soldier pulls an injured comrade away from a burning tank in Falluja, Iraq (news - web sites) April 8, 2004. U.S. troops fought Sunni and Shi'ite rebels in Falluja and Kerbala on Thursday as hospital officials reported hundreds of casualties in the heaviest fighting since Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s fall a year ago.

1. Not "Body" but "Injured Person"
Let's not get hyperbolic here.

I saw the video, and the man being pulled out is injured, but alive.

2. Yeah, I saw it too.
Talking heads kept apologizing to the families of Marines for showing such horrific video. They were a little bloody, but walking. I thought, I wonder what it would be like to turn on CNN and see a blown up Iraqi baby and have them apologize to the Iraqi parents?

Nah. Twilight Zone.

3. this battle in Fallujah
has been on going since MONDAY...I hate it when the so called free press glosses over such important events and merelt repeat the offical speaking poits of the BFEE :-(

At this point, I just want our GIs to come home. Enough is enough.
