just saw 2 dead kids pulled from the Fallujah rubble on cnn....
strange, that they would show the actual carnage on the t.v. machine controlled by the white house. thought it was all shiny happy coverage only? oh well, times change.

meanwhile, bush kills babies every day, who had nothing whatsoever to do with nine eleven.

9. CNN showed the film clip last night, too.
It was terrible to watch. But our country needs to see it. It just is beyond words, and so it has to be shown on tv.

4. You must be mistaken. We only kill adult insurgents with out magic
bullets and bombs. They must have been midgets.

8. Why Why WHY
won't Kerry use what is actually happening in Iraq to attack the megalomaniac murderers in the WH and their feeble puppet front? Why, during the debate, did he not reference the dead children and the legacy of hate we are creating AS WELL AS the 2000+ attacks on "coalition" forces over the past weeks? WHY did he not reference the President of Jordan saying it is impossible to hold elections in Iraq due to the carnage, or whoever it was the other day who said flat out Iraq is lost?

I realize that most Americans don't seem to care how many Iraqis die, and I understand that Kerry is in a difficult position due to his past acts and statements. I realize that he can't be seen as not "supporting the troops" but why not use these things in his attack on the CONDUCT of the war?

If the media starts showing footage of enough dead children, surely the American people will turn against this evil war. Surely most do not want to send our sons and daughters, our husbands and wives off to bomb children?

11. Because he's going to be doing the same thing if he wins...
...he'll just use more bombs and troops (hopefully French and German ones).

10. those kids were faking their injuries....they hope to be President
of Iraq someday.

A free Iraq will make the world safer....or is it a safe Iraq will make the world freer.

Catastrophic success.

14. I saw part of that last night
One was a little boy about five years old. Buried under rocks and rubble. Absolutely limp and lifeless when they pulled him out. Poor little tyke. I wonder how many other pieces of film will never be seen.
