We just blew up a small village. Men and Children......

"We just blew up a small village. Jesus, the imbedded reporter showed it all. Old men and children."

I just read this on another local board I post on. I've not gotten a response to my request for details. Does anyone know if this can be validated? I'm heartsick if it's true.

1. no idea.....

2. That's War. It's not well organized by nature.

3. This isn't war, this is an illegal and oppressive occupation for profit.

It's just horrific.

[patrice]

I Hate It, whatever it is.

[gratuitous]

14. Of course it's war

It's also an illegal and oppressive occupation for profit, but it's still war.

4. it's not the first time, and not the last

5. Relax, our all-knowing pResident reassured us we will WIN in Iraq.

We may have to kill everyone living there but we will win. Asswipe.

8. What village? Anyone know who the reporter is?

Why are people seemingly so immune to the horrors of war? I don't mean on DU, I mean out in the world. Why is there not more outrage, or at the very least, sadness?

[JoZbean]

9. I'm looking for the outrage here!

Where is it? Are we all?

[Old Vet]

10. I also saw it on CNN, A us tank blew the shit out of a building......

suspected of hiding insurgents and nothing but women and children came out, Not to mention all the dead that were carried out. Sick,Sick.

[mzteris]

13. how long before they start

saying "women and children" are insurgents, too - like they did in Nam - to justify killing them.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Oh no!

:cry:

[leftchick]

11. well

a 30 second sound bite on TV in the middle of the afternoon. How many folks do you think are even aware of the atrocities committed by the USA in Iraq daily? If it were on TV nightly with bodies and wounded and dead soldiers perhaps there would be more outrage. It made a huge difference during Vietnam.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

12. Agreed

Also I don't think people watch the nightly news the way they used to. Now we have cable news (who tell us what to think about the day's events) and way too much other programming to distract people.

It used to be that people gathered around the TV to watch the 6:00 news, but those days are gone.

Most people get their news during the day from the Internet or cable news, and many others just don't watch at all.

16. There is an offensive near the Syrian border right now

serious bombing....
