BAGHDAD - US forces killed six insurgents, two women and a child in the course of an operation that involved an air strike west of Baghdad, the US military reported Sunday.

During the raid, which took place late on Saturday night in Gharmah, a town between Baghdad and the restive city of Fallujah, US forces decided that the best way to deal with the target building — described as a known insurgent hideout — was to call in an airstrike.

“Coalition forces determined that the use of precision fires against thebuilding provided the greatest safety measures for both the surroundingresidents and friendly forces by avoiding the possibility of stray smallarms rounds during a firefight,” said the statement.

While the surrounding residents were spared stray bullets, the two women and child in the house, were caught by the air strike and killed, along with five other men.

1. IMPEACHMENT too good for bush

Wht should happen to bush and cheney is...confined to a 10 x 10 cell and the wall and floor papered with the dead and maimed from Iraq. The children, the mothers and fathers who were innocent of all blame in bush's war. The men and women of our own country who were sent to Iraq for the madman's folly. They should be made to look at the pictures of the hell on earth their warmongler oil stealing minds had wrought. Fitting don't you think.

2. More "collateral damage?"

People of good (or any) conscience have got to bring this to an end. It's not going to until the masses demand it.
